For Caregivers/Families

As a family member or close friend, you want to ensure that this transition is a smooth and positive one for the person you care about. If a loved one is considering their retirement living options – or if you feel it’s time they start – think of how you can help them to make this important life change.

 

It’s never too soon to start the conversation. If your loved one hasn’t brought it up yet, maybe it’s time you did. Retirement living can be a wonderful option, with the conveniences, services, amenities and activities to match any needs and desires.

 

To prepare, consider talking with other family members to get their support and insight – especially anyone who has already moved to retirement living. Planting the seed early will also get them thinking about the many advantages of this option, which may make the transition easier when they decide the time is right.

 

Be supportive and positive. That means listening to their wants, needs and feelings about retirement. Be enthusiastic about their options, and let them determine what retirement lifestyle suits them best. By keeping a positive outlook, and encouraging your loved ones to research their retirement living choices, you’ll help them feel more comfortable with their decision.

This is a common feeling. It’s helpful to speak to your loved one about what they are gaining – a spacious residence that’s likely filled with more services and amenities than they’ve ever had before. 

 

Most Revera residences include a wide range of amenities – dining room, lounges, libraries, theatres, fitness centres, craft rooms, chapels, tuck shops, hair salons, patios, gardens, and more. 

 

Our residences are usually located conveniently close to shopping, restaurants, medical services, community services, public transit, places of worship, and much more, supporting who you are and how you want to live.

 

To help make their new residence a true home, residents can bring many of the furnishings and decorations that matter to them. Our staff can help residents decide what to bring and how to arrange it in their new space.
