Aging is not a one-size-fits-all experience, and neither is senior living. The journey from active retirement to full-time care unfolds uniquely for every individual, but it often follows a gradual evolution of needs—what we call the continuum of care. Understanding this spectrum is essential when planning for yourself or a loved one.
Initiating a conversation about aging and the need for care can be one of the most delicate and emotionally charged moments in a family’s journey. As adult children or caregiving partners, we often reach a turning point—when roles begin to reverse, and we find ourselves needing to guide, support, or even protect those who once did the same for us.
