Senior care homes or retirement communities are becoming a very popular choice among elder adults today. The demand for this type of facility has shown significant growth over the past decade because seniors still want the independence and comfort of doing daily activities by their own. Before choosing a senior living community for yourself or your loved ones, you need to identify which activities of daily living (ADL) your aging parent can perform independently and which daily activities (eating, bathing, toileting) they need assistance. Equally, it is very important to involve your aging parent or dear ones in the decision making to move to an assited living facility or senior care home. Sometimes it is disruptive and emotional for them. Sort out your loved one's preferences (gardening, painting, cooking etc) and make ensure they can achieve that  from the living community. Creating a familiar atmosphere as that of home is good option to sweep away the differences of tastes. Finally, make them realize that this for them to lead a better quality life independently.
