The Holidays May be the Best Time to Get Serious about Senior Living

You may not have thought about it before but the holidays can be a good time to make plans for a move into senior living for your parent or another loved one.   Your family members are already gathered together to celebrate the holidays and also many of them may have more free time available than usual.  

If the family has already been making plans to move mom or dad into an assisted living community, December is a good time to set up a tour to view a couple of the places you and your parent are most interested in.  Remember the home is probably brightly decorated and holding lots of special activities that should help to make it look most appealing to your parent.  Also with more of the family around, everyone can take responsibility toward helping them make decisions for their future.

In addition if you live out-of-town, getting together with an elderly loved one in person may reveal the fact that they do need more assistance in their life.  It is most likely the reason interest in senior living communities tends to be high during January and February. If you beat the rush and start your search in December, mom or dad may even have more choices in suite styles.
