H<\/strong>aving a plan and educating yourself are great ways to approach the talk with your loved one.<\/b><\/h2>

One of life\u2019s hardest decisions is if and when it is time to move mom or dad into a senior living community<\/b>. Our parents cared for us when we were children and made sure we had everything we needed to succeed in life. You may try to help your parents in return, but sometimes their level of care is out of your control. <\/span>The decision to move into senior living may be the best one you can make for them<\/b>. The first thing you need to remember is to be patient. Be sensitive to the fact that this is a very big step and although you are trying to help, they might not see it that way at first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

How do you start the conversation?<\/b><\/p>

The first step to having the senior living discussion is to <\/span>have empathy and make sure you are listening<\/b>. You want your loved one to know that you understand their concerns are valid. However, it\u2019s easier for you to see from an outside perspective that your senior needs assistance in ways that only a retirement community can provide.<\/span><\/p>

What are some techniques to have a successful senior living discussion?<\/b><\/h3>

There are many ways to approach the conversation with your loved one. As this tends to be a difficult one to have, we thought we\u2019d share some helpful tips to guide you along the way.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Educate Yourself<\/b><\/h4>

One of the best tools you can use is knowledge. You may have been researching senior living for a while, but for mom and dad, this could be all new territory. <\/span>Having a clear understanding of different types of care, such as independent living, assisted living, or memory care, is the best way to explore their options.<\/b> Some people assume a nursing home might be their only choice. If you are able to explain each service and what might work best, that is only going to broaden their perspective of senior living altogether. Even asking them to join in on research could be a game changer, as they will feel more involved in their future.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Ask for Help<\/b><\/h4>

Some people might consider the senior living conversation to be too daunting to take on. <\/span>Start asking close family and friends for assistance<\/b>. The weight does not have to be all on your shoulders. Make sure everyone is on the same page beforehand. Additionally, with more enforcement, your loved one will be more likely to see an outsider\u2019s perspective instead of just one person\u2019s opinion.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cOnce the family is all on the same page, consider including one or two of them in this conversation, or perhaps bring in somebody else deeply trusted. Maybe it\u2019s an old friend, a close connection from the church, or perhaps even a counselor or doctor: anybody that your loved one feels is advocating for them should be an ally for this transition.\u201d (via <\/span>seniorliving.org<\/span><\/a>)<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>

Take Your Time<\/b><\/h4>

The senior living conversation is not going to be a one-time discussion. <\/span>This is something that could take months or years to decide on<\/b>. Over time, it may become clearer to your loved one that they, in fact, do need assistance. No matter how in need they may be, the decision will never be easy. With each discussion, you will be able to sense their willingness to talk about it. As time moves on, with your patience and trusted allies by your side, the transition should begin. <\/span>Making sure your loved ones are looking at this as the next chapter instead of an ending should be a consistent narrative<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

What is the best advice for starting the conversation around senior living?<\/b><\/h3>

Patience, knowledge, and asking for help<\/b>. If you are doing these three things, you are off to a great start. Including your loved one in your research makes it a discussion instead of a lecture. You know your mom or dad better than anyone else. You\u2019ll know when to pull back and when to be stern. At the end of the day, you are providing an opportunity for your loved one to live an enriched life with all the care they could possibly need.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

Some helpful reminders when starting the senior living conversation:<\/b><\/h4>
  1. Have empathy with your loved one.<\/span><\/li>
  2. It\u2019s a discussion, not a lecture. Telling someone how to live will only cause push-back.<\/span><\/li>
  3. Knowledge is power. Research different types of senior living options beforehand.<\/span><\/li>
  4. Bring in allies to back up your reasoning. Remember to reach out to people your senior trusts and will listen to, like a family member or close friend.<\/span><\/li>
  5. Have patience and understand that this could take a while to find some common ground.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>
