Getting Ready to Move to Assisted Living in Boston
Preparing for a move can always be a big task, but by keeping some tips in mind, you or your loved one can go through the relocation process more smoothly and with less stress and discomfort. First, you'll want to take care of your current residence. This could mean canceling a rental lease or selling a home or RV. You'll also want to sell or donate your furniture and decor items, as assisted living communities near you in Boston are furnished residential options.
In addition, if you are helping a loved one, there are a few ways to make the process easier for everyone:
- Encourage your loved one to visit a physician for a check-up. This means that when your loved one moves into the assisted living community, staff members will have up-to-date, accurate information about health and assistance needs.
- Talk with the staff at the residence about what kind of items your loved one can bring, from photos and other sentimental items to practical needs.
- Familiarize yourself with the policies of the assisted living community and the move-in process, so there are no surprises on moving day or immediately thereafter.
- Support your loved one's desires and wishes for his or her new home. Assisted living honors seniors' independence, and their participation in the process is essential.

What’s the Difference Between Assisted Living vs. Other Senior Care Types?
The difference between assisted living and other types of senior care is that assisted living sits on the continuum of care between independent living and skilled nursing facilities, sometimes called nursing homes.
There are a number of different types of communities in the Boston area designed to meet the needs of aging citizens. Assisted living communities are a great choice for seniors who need help with activities of daily living but not round-the-clock nursing assistance or medical care. Assisted living communities can help seniors to enjoy greater social interaction and a supportive environment that can help you or your loved one to thrive.
However, there are other types of communities that may be a better fit for some seniors, including:
- Independent living or retirement communities, which offer community living, activities and social support, are not suited for those who need support with Activities of Daily Living.
- Short-term care options are meant for seniors who need medical assistance and support for only a short time, such as following a surgery or serious illness.
- Nursing homes or memory care facilities provide options for people who need round-the-clock nursing support, including specialized options for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia.
- Hospice care is for people who are moving into an end of life situation and are no longer seeking aggressive treatment for terminal illness. They are designed to provide supportive care and maximum comfort at the end of life period.
