A retirement home in Calgary could be the right choice for you or a loved one. There are many different assisted living facilities in Calgary and when you are choosing the perfect retirement home there are definitely things to keep in mind to give you the best experience.
This video advises ways to retain your independence while receiving the help you need. Assisted living can be many levels of care. Most homes encourage residents to be active with recreation programs and seeing if the types of activities you are fond of are available is a great way to feel at home quicker.
Driving in Calgary can be a challenge even when the weather is good; do you need a retirement community that provides transportation? Do you need cooking facilities, like a kitchenette, or would you like to have all your meals prepared for you? These are some of the questions you must ask when performing your search.
You will get the following suggestions from this video:
1) Determine your level of care, and if that can be increased in the future. This is often referred to as “aging in place”, a popular term to describe an assisted living facility’s ability to provide ongoing care. It is important to determine if, should your needs change suddenly, you would be required to move out of the Home.
2) Examine and compare costs. The remarkable variation in price between facilities is typically reflected in their services, meals, activities and, of course, levels of care available. Don’t be fooled by a low price or intimidated by a high one. Examine what factors contribute to the costs and decide if that is right for you.
3) Find reviews. EVERY place has them, good or bad. A reputable facility will make their reviews easily accessible, and negative reviews or feedback will be addressed and, hopefully, improved upon. These are only three points of what could be dozens.
Planning to move into assisted living in Calgary involves many steps: deciding on a budget, picking a location, choosing and touring facilities, downsizing, moving…the list goes on! The first and most important choice is deciding to make the move. That is why you are here – you have opted to make an informed decision about assisted living in Calgary.
