Seniors are living longer than ever before. If you have elderly parents who are still living in the family home, you’re likely already starting to feel a little nervous about their safety and health. Helping elderly parents downsize into a smaller, more manageable and accessible unit at an independent living community can help ease your concerns and give them a better quality of life. If you’re feeling uneasy about a parent living at home, here are the most common signs that will indicate when it’s time to consider downsizing.

As you enter your golden years, many things begin to change, from your health and mobility to your family and social connections. With so many challenges to face, it can eventually take a toll on the mental and physical health of seniors. That’s why being surrounded by peers is such a crucial part of maintaining a healthy quality of life as we age. Read on to learn more about the importance of living in a community as you age and how it can benefit you.
