Planning for Senior Care

In light of the upcoming Older Americans Month this May, Assisted Living Locators—a leader in senior care placement across the nation—encourages families to proactively engage in conversations about future care needs for their loved ones. Each day, approximately 10,000 Americans turn 65, highlighting the urgency of early preparations to secure proper care tailored to seniors’ unique requirements and preferences.

The statistics provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reveal that nearly 70% of individuals over the age of 65 will encounter the need for long-term care at some stage in their lives. However, despite this significant need, many families postpone crucial discussions about senior care until an urgent situation arises. This delay can restrict available options, adding unnecessary stress to what is already a challenging experience.

Felicia Sanders, the Brand Leader and President of Assisted Living Locators, emphasizes the importance of proactive planning. "Older Americans Month serves as a powerful reminder that planning ahead for senior care is not just beneficial—it's essential," she stated. Early discussions enable families to make well-informed choices about various care options, aligning them with the individual’s specific needs and financial situations.

Assisted Living Locators offers a no-cost, personalized service aimed at guiding families through the often-complicated realm of senior care. The organization has a network of knowledgeable advisors in over 30 states who provide assistance regarding in-home care, independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Each advisor dedicates time to assess the medical, emotional, and financial needs of seniors, ensuring that they are matched with the most suitable care options available.

"The earlier families start planning, the broader their choices become," Sanders adds. The advisors collaborate with families on a one-to-one basis, ensuring access to essential resources and support throughout the aging process.

For families unsure where to initiate these crucial conversations, Assisted Living Locators provides complimentary consultations to help evaluate their loved ones’ needs and explore available care options.
