Deciding when a loved one might benefit from assisted living is one of the hardest choices families face. Many seniors value their independence deeply, and families want to honor that while also ensuring safety, comfort, and quality of life. So how do you know when “it’s time”?
Here are 7 signs to look for:
- 1. Struggles with Daily Activities
- 2. Increased Accidents or Falls
- 3. Loneliness or Isolation
- 4. Neglected Home or Finances
- 5. Unintentional Weight Loss or Poor Nutrition
- 6. Caregiver Burnout
- 7. Declining Health Needs
Tip: Choosing assisted living doesn’t mean giving up independence — it means gaining support, safety, and community.
