5 Important Considerations Before Moving into a Senior Residential Facility

Brian Harris 2 years ago 3 min read
Senior Residential Facility

Making the transition of living alone to becoming a part of a wider community in a residential home is something many seniors spend a lot of time thinking about. 

Whether you are looking to down-size your living space, or you are missing socializing with those of a similar age to you, there are many factors of senior life that can make a residential facility feel extremely compelling.  

There are thousands of communities out there which would be happy to welcome you, but first you need to consider some crucial factors.

Can I Afford It?

Moving into a residential facility is not cheap. On average, a private room in a residential home can cost around $8,200 per month, according to a recent survey by Genworth’s Cost of Care. It can be an expensive lifestyle, however there are many benefits to living at a residential facility which may be too appealing for you to turn down. 

Benefits of living in a senior residential facility:

  • Make new friendships and relationships
  • Gain independence
  • Receive day-to-day support
  • Enjoy new experiences

Do I Want to Be More Independent?

One of the biggest advantages of living in a senior residential facility, is having the opportunity to be more independent. This is great for any senior citizen who has cognitive health issues such as dementia, one of the most common forms of memory loss in elderly people. Many facilities in the United States such as Monarch Bella Terra promote independence as a priority.

Will it Improve My Quality of Life?

If you are already happy and content with your current living situation, whereby you have regular social interaction, and you are still mobile with limited health complications, it may not make sense for you to move into a senior living facility.

Questions to ask yourself about moving to a residential facility:

  • Will I be happier there?
  • Will my social interactions improve?
  • Can I justify the costs?
  • Will my current needs benefit from the services provided at the facility?

If you have answered yes to most of these questions, then it may be worth researching more into your local residential homes before you make any big decisions.

Can I Stay Long Term?

It is important to consider the longevity of your stay at a residential facility, particularly when it comes to working out your finances and how you will afford to pay for it. 

Will I Miss Being Around Loved Ones?

One of the hardest things about moving away from your loved ones, is not being able to see them as often, especially if your new home is situated several hours away. 

Having said that, only you will know how you will cope without their frequent company or visits. 

If you are planning to move to a local facility, it will still be easy for you to see your loved ones on a regular basis, which will also give them the opportunity to engage with relevant members of staff, to understand more about how you are getting on and what your life is like in the unique environment.
