Explore the heartbreaking consequences prospective residents and their families face when difficult decisions are delayed. Waiting too long often means entering assisted living only after a crisis fall, hospitalization, or severe decline, making the transition far more difficult emotionally and physically.

This powerful piece sheds light on the emotional reality seniors face behind closed doors and why choosing support earlier can mean preserving dignity, independence, friendships, and a far better quality of life.
