Understand Their Concerns

Before you fully introduce the idea of looking into assisted living facilities with your loved one, it is important to ask about and understand their fears and concerns. Talking to your aging parent about what he or she is worried about and what makes them feel uncertain about independent senior living is key to understanding how you can help alleviate these fears. Showing empathy and understanding will help him or her feel more comfortable with their decision.
