Noticing changes in your parents' independence, safety, or well-being is one of the hardest parts of being an adult, and wondering when to have the conversation about senior living can appear the biggest hurdle of all. You want to honor their autonomy while ensuring they're safe, but the fear of starting "too soon" or waiting "too long" can leave you paralyzed with uncertainty. The good news? There are clear signs that indicate it's time for a thoughtful conversation, and recognizing them early gives your family more choices, less stress, and better outcomes.
A new year brings exciting opportunities, and it also happens to be one of the most strategic windows of time for seniors to consider transitioning to a local senior living community. In addition to perks like social connection, safety, and maintenance-free living, your family may also discover a treasure trove of financial benefits under current tax laws.
