As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available to a broader range of the population, seniors and their families need to understand what that means, what to expect after their vaccination, and how the guidance will affect Senior Living and Memory Care communities.

No one wants to talk about it, but part of the process of finding the right assisted living or memory care community for your loved one includes answering financial questions about how you are going to pay for it. The good news is there are many options when it comes to paying for senior care.

Finding not just the right foods but also foods that seniors want to eat can be challenging. Being in the senior dining industry for over twenty-five years, I have come to learn that seniors not only need what I consider five of the most indispensable foods in terms of getting the vitamins and minerals that an aging person needs, but also some foods which they like to have and enjoy.

These charges are self-explanatory for the most part, but what happens when you see something you don't recognize? For instance, a "Community Fee." You may ask, what is that for, and how does it benefit my loved one?

The happiness of your loved one is what matters the most. Pay attention to these five signs. Ensuring your loved one lives in a place where they are happy will also bring happiness and peace of mind to you.

Selecting a memory care community for your loved one doesn’t have to be intimidating. This can be an opportunity for you to make their advancing years as comfortable and happy as possible. When choosing a community for your loved one, keeping these things in mind will help you find the right place for your loved one and guarantee they will thrive there.

Moving into assisted living can cause uncertainty for you and for your loved one, especially right now, but by being prepared, you can turn the moment into one of excitement as you start on this new adventure together. To help make the transition easier, here’s our recommendation.
