Sometimes you may be even at a loss to know where to start. At times, the circumstances may change dramatically and you may not be left with a choice at all to let your loved one live independently. Check out our section on where to start to know more about preparing yourself.
Once you have come to the conclusion that it might be better for your loved one to consider assisted living, the next step is to evaluate your needs. Every person is unique. Their conditions are unique. Needs and preferences are unique. To decide which type of assisted living is most suitable for your needs, check out the Your Needs section. Here we give you some information about the different assisted care options based on your specific needs.
