If chores and errands are becoming more difficult, one of your first actions might be to get help from a friend or loved one. There’s no shame is getting occasional assistance. But if it’s becoming a serious challenge to manage your affairs, and everyday activities like cleaning, cooking, and yard work are becoming burdensome or dangerous, it’s time for a change. It may be time to consider moving to an assisted living facility.

Here are three reasons people make the transition to an assisted living facility easier:

• Get as Much Help as You Need: Assisted living facilities have some negative connotations, making some people worry that, if they check into one, their freedom will be taken away. But, this couldn’t be more false. The right retirement home will help you enjoy life more — not hinder you. With tailored services, you’ll only get help with what you need; meanwhile, you’ll have more time to socialize and enjoy your time.

• Safety & Security: Living by yourself comes with many risks — if you get hurt, it can take longer to get assistance. You might also be more concerned about your home security. If you’re worried about your safety, consider moving to an assisted living facility. Outfitted with the latest alert systems and accessibility modifications, a facility like Red Oak is safer than living at home.

• Live Better: You deserve to be healthy and eat tasty, nutritious food. Some people take these things for granted, but you might know better. If meeting your basic needs is becoming more of a strain, consider the benefits of getting three square meals per day and meeting other needs without the same level of responsibility.
