Ask An Expert - Senior Care
 



Paradise Senior Communities, LLC brings over 75 combined years of senior care experience to the Assisted Living arena, providing something special for the very deserving senior population that we serve. We have experienced the larger assisted living communities with 100 or more residents being housed under one roof in a multi-story midrise building, but we wanted to provide a more intimate “Home” environment. We chose to build a campus of multiple 16-suite homes for our Assisted Living and Memory Care Communities. Each building serving just 16 residents, who are cared for in a smaller “home” setting, was just the answer we were looking for. You will be proud to be a part of the Paradise Park Family, on a campus designed especially for you.

How can I convince my mom that it’s time for Assisted Living?

The decision to move to an Assisted Living is never easy and there’s no simple answer to the question. However, you can start by asking the Assisted Living staff to conduct a “Pre-Admission Meeting,” to assist you in making the decision, breaking the news, and facilitating a smooth transition for your loved one. Each admission requires a specific approach, by the family and staff, so make sure that they work with you to develop a plan that everyone can feel at peace with.


When’s the best time to start looking for an Assisted Living?

While the decision is rarely easy, or agreed upon by everyone involved, it’s best to start looking as soon as you believe that a change is impending. Too often, families put off the decision, hoping to avoid taking away Mom or Dad’s independence. Unfortunately, many times a catastrophic event occurs, (such has hospitalization, a bad fall, a sudden decline in health), that forces the family to begin looking independent of Mom or Dad. The end result is that the decision is made in crisis, on a deadline, and without the your loved one’s input or involvement.
