The decision to move to a senior living community is a significant one, and timing is a key factor. It’s a choice that deserves careful consideration and thoughtful exploration. While there’s no single answer that applies to everyone, several key aspects can help you determine the best time for this move.
Senior living communities offer a range of support services designed to enhance your well-being and promote independence. From help with housekeeping and meal preparation to medication management and personal care, these services can provide valuable support while allowing you to maintain your independence.
Social connections play a key role in our overall health and happiness, and senior living communities offer great opportunities for social connection. At The Doliver of Tanglewood, we offer fun activities, social events, and shared meals!
Concerns about safety and security often become more prominent as we age. Whether it’s the worry of falls, accidents, or home maintenance, these concerns can weigh heavily on the minds of both seniors and their families. Senior living communities provide a secure and supportive environment designed to alleviate these worries. Features like emergency call systems, 24/7 security personnel, and well-maintained grounds offer peace of mind and allow you to focus on enjoying your retirement years.
Imagine a life free from the burdens of homeownership, where you can say goodbye to yard work, cooking, and cleaning! Senior living communities offer a maintenance-free lifestyle that allows you to spend your time pursuing your passions and enjoying the things you love. With amenities like a fitness center, swimming pool, and restaurant-style dining, you’ll have access to a variety of options to enhance your well-being and enrich your daily life.
Moving to a senior living community involves financial considerations, and it’s important to plan accordingly. Take the time to evaluate your current financial situation and explore the various costs associated with senior living, including entrance fees, monthly fees, and any available financial assistance programs. Our experienced team is here to provide guidance and answer your questions, helping you make informed decisions that align with your finances.
The best time to move to a senior living community is when you feel ready to embrace a new chapter in your life.

The decision to move to a senior living community is significant. With many senior living communities available, each offering a unique blend of services and amenities, how can you ensure you make the right choice? Here is a step-by-step approach to comparing senior living options.
The first step in finding the perfect community is understanding your personal needs and preferences. Consider your ideal lifestyle, including level of support, activity offerings, location preferences, and budget. This understanding of what you are looking for will guide your search for the right community.
Once you have a clear picture of your needs and preferences, it’s time to start researching and comparing communities. Set up tours at communities that appear to match your desired criteria. Visiting in person will give you a chance to experience the atmosphere, meet the staff and residents, and even sample the food. (Helpful tip: Show up prepared with a list of questions to ask both staff and residents at each community you tour!)
After every tour, it’s a good idea to write down your impressions and notes about the community. Not sure what to include? Our team can build a comparison worksheet for you, so you can feel confident you’re taking comprehensive notes that will best inform your decision. Make sure to review contracts carefully to fully understand the terms, monthly fees, any additional charges, and the cancellation policy.
Choosing the right senior living community is a personal decision. There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The most important thing is to find a community that meets your needs, supports your lifestyle, and makes you feel at home.
Our team would be happy to provide personalized recommendations and help you build a comprehensive comparison worksheet. Contact us today to learn more.
