Understand Their Concerns

Before you fully introduce the idea of looking into assisted living facilities with your loved one, it is important to ask about and understand their fears and concerns. Talking to your aging parent about what he or she is worried about and what makes them feel uncertain about independent senior living is key to understanding how you can help alleviate these fears. Showing empathy and understanding will help him or her feel more comfortable with their decision.

Talk to Your Loved One About Their Needs

Before you begin looking into options for long-term care facilities in Vermont, take the time to talk to your loved one about individual needs, preferences, and concerns. This will help you understand what kind of care he or she may need and what type of facility would work best. Cedar Hill, for example, offers a variety of assisted living options including respite care, rehabilitation services, memory care, and more.
