Have you started to look into a retirement or assisted living community? We won’t ask why you’re considering the move into a Northern Alberta retirement community because there could be numerous reasons such as access to assisted living services, no more worrying about home maintenance or even if you’re looking for a different environment with a lively staff and friendly residents you can one day befriend.
To help you find the perfect place you can call home, here are 3 things you should consider:
1. Touring the retirement community
If you’ve never been to a retirement community before, it’s important for you or your senior loved one to book a tour and visit the property. Reading about it on the website is one thing, but actually being in the environment is different. You will get to meet some of the staff members and maybe even some residents you can be friends with once you move in.
2. Finding the perfect suite that fits your needs
When it comes to choosing a suite, you’ll want to consider which one fits your lifestyle and is best suited for you in terms of your needs. Many retirement communities have studio suites which are easily accessible and open for those who like to have everything in one space. There are also one bedroom and two bedroom suites in case you like to separate your resting and lounging areas, or just like to have privacy in case you have people over.
3. The services and amenities offered at the assisted living community
This is one of the most crucial things to think about when it comes to choosing an assisted living community, as you want to be happy wherever you are. If there are specific services or amenities that you need, you’ll most likely lean towards a retirement community that has them available on site for your convenience. Whether it’s something fitness related or simply just for your leisure, you’ll want to ensure that you have regular access.
