Moving Mom Into Assisted Living? Make It Feel Like Home

You’ve found an assisted living community for your parent. Now you have to turn an empty apartment into a place they actually want to live, sometimes with only a few days to get it ready. In this episode of Aging Answers, Rebecca and Vickie sit down with Allie and Emaly from Senior Decor to talk about furnishing a senior living apartment, keeping meaningful belongings, and taking some of the pressure off families during a difficult move. They explain how they plan around a parent’s preferences, mobility, and changing needs, from choosing the right bed height to making room for a favorite chair. They also share the story of a mother who was reluctant to move until she walked into her new apartment. In this conversation: • What to consider before buying furniture for assisted living • How to incorporate familiar furniture, photos, and keepsakes • Furniture rentals for temporary stays and uncertain plans • Adjustable beds, lift chairs, and everyday comfort • Getting an apartment ready when the move happens quickly • Working within different budgets Learn more about Senior Decor: https://seniordecor.com REBECCA COX Director of Sales and Marketing, Manor Lake Senior Living Manor Lake Dawsonville: Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care 3769 Kallie Circle, Dawsonville, GA 30534 Phone: (706) 841-9029 Web: ManorLakeDW.com VICKI JONES Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Anchor Real Estate Advisors, LLC Serving Dawsonville, Dahlonega, and North Georgia Phone: (678) 614-2627 Email: resultsbyvicki@gmail.com Web: anchorhomeadvisors.com =============================== ABOUT AGING ANSWERS =============================== A podcast for families sorting out senior services.
