No one looks forward to the day when their parents need additional care. Families going through this transition look for three key factors when considering their eldercare options:
- Access to Support: "Should care outside the home become necessary, several types of housing come with support services for people who cannot fully take care of themselves due to aging and/or disability," writes the Idaho Press. The more options your senior living community has for older adults in need of varying degrees of support, the more likely it is that your community will be a good fit for a given prospect.
- Communication: Social isolation is one of the greatest risks older adults face, so communities with ample social activities and capability for connection with those friends and family who can't visit frequently are more appealing. Through Independa's advancements in telecare, families can stay connected, no matter where they are located.
- Cost: In addition to being a physical burden, aging can also come with financial baggage. Chances are that aging parents are retired and are not receiving as much income as they were in the workforce. Unfortunately, age-related health issues can be costly and health insurance covers only very limited and specific types of long-term care. This is why families will devise educated budgets for long-term care, so cost-effectiveness is crucial for senior living communities seeking to increase occupancy rates.
