Starting the Conversation About Moving to a Senior Community

It’s a hard topic to bring up with loved ones, but examining whether or not it’s time to move to a senior community is necessary.  Family members sometimes can feel tongue-tied when they believe that it may be time for a senior community.  It can often bring up this image of a cold, sterile place where your loved one goes alone, but it doesn’t have to be like that at all.  The senior community at Mayberry Gardens brings the touch of home with the security of assisted living.

If you know that this conversation will be difficult for you and your parent, lay out the groundwork by doing your research and making your case.  There’s a good chance that they may have reservations about being in their home alone, too.  Cite facts about the risks that come from a senior living alone, such as isolation, falls, accidents, medical emergencies, and being a target for criminals.  Let them know that you love them, and want what’s best for them in the long run just as they did for you.

Then, you can begin to discuss the senior living community at Mayberry Gardens where residents live in smaller facilities that have all the comforts of home with all the privacy they could desire with the peace of mind of having assistance there if they need it. 

We are here to help you through this process, so please feel free to contact us with questions and concerns that you or your loved ones may have about our facility.  We look forward to showing your family around our community and helping you combine safety and security with the feeling of being home.
