Insider Perspectives

Hear from families near you

Comfort Life interviewed family members of seniors in retirement communities across the country. In story after story, we learned how communities had made seniors' lives better, how people were often surprised or even blown away by how happy and fulfilled parents felt after moving, and how much easier life became for both parent and adult children.

In these videos we asked the following questions, gathering details about how about how the move had positively impacted families. Collectively, these offer you reassurance that the move is definitely worth it. In many cases linked to below, people admit that they wish they had made the move earlier, and that they could have, as well. Here are the questions you'll find answered:

  • What do you appreciate about the retirement community?
  • What value does the community bring to you and your parent?
  • What would you highlight about the social life, staff, facilities, and amenities?
  • How has your parent's life improved since moving into the community?
  • How has your own life improved since your parent moved into the community?
  • What made you originally choose the community?
  • Do you have any advice for other families who are in the process of searching?
  • What was the process like moving your parent into the community?
  • How did the community make the transition easier?
  • Would you do anything different if you were to go through the decision process again?
