If you’re reading this article, you’re likely exploring senior living options – either for yourself or an older loved one. Inevitably, the question boils down to, should I continue to live at home or move to a retirement community like Stoneridge Creek?
Both options have upsides. Staying at home is familiar, there’s no packing or moving involved, and it probably seems like the easier option. However, living at home comes with immediate and future concerns that increase as one ages. Isolation and loneliness become legitimate health risks. Home maintenance becomes more difficult – housework is an apt term, and it never ends. Also, if your home has more than one floor, stairs become daunting. Driving becomes risky. Meal prep and dishes are a hassle. And if you ever need care, who will provide it, and where?
On the other hand, moving to a Continuing Care Retirement Community, also known as a CCRC, eliminates all the burdens of homeownership and puts in place a solid plan for future care.
Our Top 10 List: No More Worries
