Has moving a loved one into an assisted living facility been on your mind lately?  Only you know when the time will be right to make that decision. However, the topic must be brought up at some point. Here are a few ways to have a positive conversation. In the end, your loved one may come to see it’s the best thing they never knew they wanted for the next chapter in their life.

Assisting Living Conversation Tips

• Ask your loved one about their thoughts on their future.
• Listen empathetically and remain supportive. This may be their first time thinking about an alternative living situation, so put their feelings first.
• Guide the conversation by telling your loved one your concerns about their current living situation.
• Remind your loved one that you want them to get the care they need.

Remember that this will most likely not be a one-time conversation and that it will take time to discuss this. Your loved one may not be able to articulate their thoughts and feelings about this
subject on the spot. Give them time. Ask them to think about their preferences and agree to talk about it again soon.
