Whether you’re making the decision to move to a continuing care retirement community for yourself or someone you care about, emotions run high. That’s why communication and patience are key. Recognize it’s emotional. Moving can mean leaving a family home, dear friends, or even a spouse. Honor those emotions. Be an active listener. If you’re helping a loved one prepare for a move, remember no one likes to feel dictated to. Let your loved one own his/her process. Give yourself time. Moving to a CCRC shouldn’t be an overnight decision. Plan for it. The time from the first conversation to move-in day can take years. Make sure to consider timing when discussing moving to a retirement community. Essential questions to consider: Do you prefer to age in place? If so, what’s your plan? Do you need to downsize? If care is needed, how will those needs be addressed?
