Downsizing

Even when our lives change for the better, transition from one lifestyle to the next can be difficult. For those who could benefit from the support of assisted senior care or memory care, moving from their beloved home to a senior living community could be the hardest change they ever make. Although the move will positively impact their health and well-being, it could have a negative effect on their attitude, causing feelings of vulnerability and loss.
