Considering a Move to a Care Home
There is no easy solution when it comes to dementia care. However, there are helpful resources available to answer your questions.
There isn’t a simple “one-size-fits-all” solution when it comes to dementia care.
You might have common questions about the next steps, including:
- Is there a "right time" to consider senior housing?
- What types of options are available?
- Does the government provide assistance?
- What is the process?
- What are the costs involved? Is financial assistance available?
- Is there a wait? If so, how long?
- How do I choose the best one to fit our needs?
- Who should I speak with?
Here’s a great place to start:
Unison for Generations 50+
They publish Senior’s Housing Directory every year. It lists the various types of housing available, including options for people living with dementia.
