Make The Move

Helping Your Loved Ones Make The Move.

Change can be difficult for some, and exciting for others. For older adults considering a move to a retirement community, change can bring about all sorts of emotions, particularly a fear of losing independence. One of the greatest gifts you can offer a loved one considering a move to a retirement community is your understanding and support. 

It is not easy helping your loved ones with life transitions, especially if you are living far away. But older adults need caring guidance toward a future that can absolutely be relaxing, interesting, active, and fun! 

Begin the conversation about a move to a retirement community early, before a health crisis puts a whole new set of urgent decisions on your shoulders. Eleventh-hour planning drastically limits options and raises costs. Look at retirement options now, while your loved ones are healthy and able to enjoy it to the fullest. Learn from our residents who often say, “I wish I made the decision sooner!”

In the meantime, here are several things to keep in mind when discussing a move to a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) with your loved ones. 

They May Not 'Feel Ready' For Senior Living.

Independent Living comprises vibrant, active older adults who enjoy socializing and pursuing new hobbies and interests. Remind your loved ones that there are all levels of care at Cypress Cove and healthcare is available when they need it: 

They May Be Surprised At How Much Easier Life Will Be.

Living without the worries of home maintenance can be freeing. But remind your loved ones that they can still do the things they loved doing around the house – whether it is gardening, woodworking or cooking their own meals. 

They May Not Understand How To Calculate The Cost Of Living In A Senior Community

Help them take a dollars-and-cents look at what they are actually paying to stay in their house: Insurance, utilities, taxes, services, home repairs, and more – everything from pool maintenance and roof repairs to maintaining heating and AC. Compare those costs to everything included in the services and amenities at Cypress Cove.

They May Be Afraid A Retirement Community Will Actually Age Them!

Friends, fun, activity, creative projects, and intellectual stimulation all contribute to healthier living. Studies show that residents of retirement communities actually live longer, happier lives. Isolation and inactivity are key factors that accelerate physical and mental decline. 

At Cypress Cove, here are just a few of the ways we keep residents active and young: 

  • Fitness with a focus on fun, with friends who encourage your parents to take part 
  • A full calendar of daily activities, including cultural events, trips, and talks by special guests 
  • Opportunities to take classes in subjects of interest to your loved ones 
  • Optimum nutrition planned into every meal by our chefs and dietary specialists 
  • Loving friends – neighbors and staff alike – to look after them all the time 
They May Be Overwhelmed By The Idea Of Moving.

Moving is a lot harder when you have to do it under pressure – forced by a health problem to sell the house quickly. And, often, people assume they have to coordinate everything themselves, from downsizing to logistics of selling their home. Cypress Cove will help your loved ones sell their home and even help them move into their new home at Cypress Cove. 

They May Be Worried About Getting The Healthcare They Need Now And The Care They May Need In The Future.

Your loved ones will be surrounded by licensed healthcare professionals at Cypress Cove, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are located on the campus of HealthPark Florida, just footsteps away from HealthPark Medical Center.
