Making the decision to move to a retirement residence
Whether you're choosing a retirement home for yourself or for someone you love, we know the decision isn't easy. It’s difficult to admit deteriorating abilities or the increasing inability to cope independently with everyday life. The aging person and his or her family are often the last to admit the need for a retirement home.
We know that it might also be difficult for you to admit this need. However, some of the signs may already be there. These can include:
- Forgetfulness, absentmindedness or declining physical health
- Unwillingness or inability to dress appropriately, bathe themselves, walk to their favourite grocer or make an appointment to see the hairdresser
- Depression, irritability or a tendency to dwell on loneliness
- Tendency to repeat oneself or start sentences with phrases like "When I'm gone..."
These are signs that you might want to consider a retirement home. Thankfully, this decision is not as painful as you might think. There are many options for senior care and retirement residences in Canada. We encourage you to look through the pages of our guide to help you make the right decision.
