How to Decide if Morning Pointe Senior Living is Right for You
Senior Living and Alzheimer’s Care Services
1. Research
- Start a list of things you, your parent, or your loved one needs help with regularly. Here’s a useful list of questions to help determine if it’s time to consider senior living
- Next, explore various care options. You may want to consider a number of different providers including Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care, Home Health, Hospice, Skilled Care, and Continuous Care Retirement.
- Connect with one of our community relations directors or executive directors to help you through this process. We work to understand your specific needs and then match those with the right level of care, whether it is at a Morning Pointe Senior Living community or another provider. The right care and the right fit are the most important. We understand you cannot do it all.
- Look at Costs – Are you considering all of the available resources?
- Have specific questions? This FAQ may help.
2. Take a Tour
- Make a list of communities that you want to tour.
- Tour during lunch so you can see the community’s atmosphere and taste the food they offer.
- Visit your top 2-3 communities again.
- Visit the community you liked the most more than 3-4 times and at different times of the day to see what is happening and to see how the residents are treated.
- Talk to the associates during your visits.
3. Bring Your Loved One
- We know every situation is different and has its unique set of challenges, but the more your parents can be involved, the better.
- Discuss your loved one’s desires and preferences; this could narrow down your options even more.
- Include other key family decision-makers along the way.
- Lay out the choices for your parent or loved one.
- Work towards a decision together.
4. Understand if Senior Living is the Right Choice
- The Morning Pointe Senior Living nursing team will work closely with you and your family so you can understand exactly how you qualify for assisted living or Alzheimer’s memory care and the steps to ensure a smooth transition.
