Deciding to move to a senior living campus can be difficult. Yet, if you or a loved one needs assisted living, skilled nursing, rehab, or memory care, is it best to stay at home or check into senior living now?
To find the answer to that question, let’s explore—and dispel—some of the myths and misconceptions that discourage people from making the move:
1. Home is secure for now, so I’ll wait Your home may have safety measures like bathtub grab bars, but do you have health issues that may worsen? And, waiting until a sudden illness occurs may prevent you from making your own choices. Because St. Clare Commons offers several care levels, you can stay at the same campus if your health ever changes.
2. Mom may be lonely if she moves We have plenty of engaging activities each week! At home, seniors can become depressed because of their age. Our residents are surrounded by others similar in age who may share hobbies and can reminisce about historic milestones.
3. If COVID cases rise again, home is safer Your family runs errands and sees others frequently, most likely exposing them to COVID. Do they wash their hands often, wear a mask, and follow all CDC guidelines? Our employees do!
4. Dad says St. Clare Commons is just like the others Our beautiful campus has a pond in a quiet urban setting. We also have an on-site chapel and Mission Integration director who visits residents. While all faiths are welcome, our employees live our sacred ministry. But, why take our word? Plan a visit and see for yourself!
Whether you or a loved one is ready to move right now or sometime in the near future, the team at St. Clare Commons is here to help. Reach out to us to help answer any questions you may have about the process or what level of care is best for your situation.
