We move seniors into senior living. Curious: how do you find the resources that you need when moving an elderly relative into senior living? What honest reasons do you have for keeping them in their home?

Either out of safety issues or wanting to move to a community, do not get on the internet and put in your personal information.  You will be relentlessly contacted by phone or email.  Find a senior living advisor and meet with them personally.  Be sure they do not give your contact information out as they look for a community.  The advisor should personally tour each community, looking at specific questions they will ask you.  I have helped numerous families that entered personal information and some communities will contact up to a year about you moving in, even though you have already made a decision.  Bless all those looking to move, either themselves or a loved one, during a time that is not easy and knowing not all the questions to ask.
