Making the decision to move to a senior living community - no matter what level of care - can be difficult and intimidating. It consists of making tough decisions and can be an emotional process of downsizing your belongings. However, you can ease your move with these tips for transitioning to senior living.

During the move, pack efficiently and deliberately, ensuring that you prioritize important items. We suggest that you make lists and don’t rush this process. You should also allow time for what we call the “emotional transition”. No matter how prepared you feel, you can expect to feel apprehensive and sentimental.
After the move, it is important to familiarize yourself with the community and get to know the staff and residents. Get involved in activities that are planned and directed by our staff - you can find organized activities on our event calendar. Join a club or group to meet people with similar hobbies and interests as you. Dine with your neighbors in the dining room. Take advantage of social opportunities to meet people and feel at home.
Getting adjusted to your new home doesn’t happen overnight. We know there is no magical answer to make your move the perfect transition.
