It's Your Move: Choices for Senior Living

Is a Retirement Community the Right Choice for You? This handy workbook is designed for those who are contemplating where they want to live for the rest of their lives-or for children having to choose home help or a place which will meet the needs of a parent. Use this book to decide how, why, and where you want to live in your senior years-whether it's in your present home, or in a place that best suits your needs, lifestyle and budget. It's Your Move will guide you through the choices available to you, provide additional references, and serve as an objective source for the decisions you must make. "Early Planning" focuses on first decisions that should be made and their timing, with a general outline of available choices. "Types of Housing" is just that: descriptions of retirement living choices with levels of care offered. "Other Considerations" includes detailed lists such as comparing for profit or not for profit facilities, as well as options such as outside help in making choices. In "Making the Move" still more detailed lists are offered, with items that might be easily overlooked. Finally, reference lists including agencies, apps for electronic devices such as iPhone, iPad, and Android, books, businesses, and websites are presented. Learn what questions to ask, and make the best possible decision for your golden years or those of your loved ones!
