Moving into assisted living is often a difficult choice for families. Before you make this commitment, you want to be sure that the benefits will outweigh the challenges you face. No matter where you are in the decision process, it’s helpful to take a broad view of the advantages and disadvantages. Here’s our complete look at the pros and cons of assisted living:
Pros
Get the professional care you need
The main reason for the transition into assisted living is to get professional attendance and care in an environment designed for people in this situation. All of your care needs will be met. Take a fuller look at care offered in assisted living.
Find rejuvenation in a new environment
When you move into your new assisted living community, you'll find advantages you might not have anticipated. The environment is designed for accessibility with broad open spaces and no stairs in sight. In addition, the friendliness of staff and other community members will brighten your day. Regular contact with other humans has demonstrable health benefits. The regular activities of a typical retirement home calendar will give you something to look forward to every day.
Gain new social opportunities
Assisted living communities open up a wealth of new social opportunities. You might not have thought you were looking for this but you'll be surprised by how much richer your life will be. In a group of your peers who share your perspective and life experience, you’ll come to love how there is always someone to talk to and something to do. Communities offer group activities, outings and bus tours with your new friends. It’s a fact, that life here is much social than living just about anywhere else.
Flexible care that adapts to your changing needs
Assisted living communities often feature flexible care, with a pay-as-you-go model available in many communities. If your care needs increase, you will be able to upgrade. For people with progressive diseases like dementia, many communities have continuing care that includes memory care and long-term care.
The convenience and simplicity of life in a retirement home
Although you may not be moving to assisted living with this aspect in mind, life in a retirement home naturally includes removal of mundane tasks and inconveniences. You can now forget all about cooking, doing dishes, dusting, washing floors, buying groceries, paying bills, and so many other things. Look at a full list of all the things taken care of for you in a retirement home. It will likely change your life to have meals prepared by someone else on a regular basis.
Space that’s fit just right for you
Many people get accustomed to an over-sized family home with typical clutter. When you move into a space designed with your needs in mind, you’ll realize how much better this is. Many assisted living communities allow you to personalize your suite. You’ll live in a space that offers exactly what you need, and you’ll come to love that.
Cons
The stress of adjusting to a new environment
In many cases, people move into assisted living because of circumstances they did not choose. The adjustment can be doubly hard for people who are dealing with the loss of a spouse or with a progressive illness. When you move into an assisted living seniors’ community, you will have to deal with new noises in the environment, new people, scheduled meals and more.
The cost of living in a retirement home
The cost of moving into assisted living may be another particularly unwelcome aspect of this. Families can use our retirement calculator to understand how current costs compare to what you are paying in fees. Many people figure out how long their savings and pensions are going to last them, and it can be empowering to figure this out. Be sure you have maximized your retirement benefits.
