Determining the right time to move to a Retirement Community

How do you know when it is time for you to move to a retirement community? As professionals in the field, we often hear first-time visitors saying that they are not sure if they are ready to make the move to a retirement community. However, once they make the decision to move to a retirement community, those same customers often ask themselves what they were waiting for. If this is something you have thought about, here are some questions you can ask yourself to determine the best answer for you:

• Am I uncomfortable with relying on friends and family to do things for me?
• Do I feel that I am a burden on friends and family?
• Do I worry about who be available in case of an emergency?
• Do I feel lonely often?
• Do I feel that my social life has become restricted?
• Do I feel unsafe in my home?
• Do I avoid driving at night?
• Am I capable of driving?
• Are housekeeping chores getting too difficult?
• Have my eating habits changed for the worse?
• Am I eating alone too often?
• Do I need to get more exercise?
• Is my health declining?
• Have I mixed up my medications?
