As your loved one ages, their housing needs will change. They may simply wish not to live independently any longer or they may become unable to live completely independently. Fortunately, there are a variety of living options that can accommodate current and changing needs. By becoming familiar with the options now, you can help make decision making less stressful for your family member -- and yourself -- when the time comes to make a change.
A continuing care facility offers independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing in one location. This is an option for those who would like to live in one place as their healthcare needs change.

Is your loved one independent and relatively healthy? In independent living, residents care for themselves, have their own living unit, and live among peers. Some limited services may be available.
State and federal agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, provide assistance with locating, subsidizing, and securing housing for older adults.
Housing with services may be appropriate for someone who would like to live independently in a community and requires a lower level of medical and personal care than is provided by a skilled nursing facility.
A skilled nursing facility provides long-term care for its residents. Other services, such as rehabilitation and short-term care, are also offered. Special facilities are available for those with Alzheimer's.
When your loved one moves from home to another living environment, space is likely to be limited. Downsizing may be required to accommodate the smaller living area.
These days, caregiving affects just about everyone. Share this valuable resource with your family and friends.
