Senior Housing How-to Kits
INSIDER TIP: Using our How-to Kits makes finding and choosing an Assisted Living or Retirement Community so much easier!
 Knowing all the steps from finding, analyzing the cost of, paying for, to moving into the right independent living,CCRC or assisted livingisn’t easy—so that’s why we have created How-to Kits to help people do just that!
So who do our Senior Housing How-to Kits help? If you or anyone you know is looking for assisted or independent living options, our kits are just the thing to guide you step-by-step through the process. Professional caregivers can share these with their clients, helping them stay on top of everything they need to know while choosing a new home for their parents. Caregivers often start looking for a new home for their parents after a trigger event, which means they often are already stressed about making the right decision. If you operate or manage an assisted living or independent living facility, a How-to Kit gives your potential clients the guidance and framework they need to feel secure in their decision.
Our Assisted Living How-to Kit includes detailed explanations of:
- What assisted living is, how to find one, what services and amenities to expect and how to pay for it
- How levels of care and the associated costs are determined
- How to easily remember everything you see and hear during a tour for later reference
- How to determine the true cost of move-in with a cost worksheet
- What needs to be done before moving in
- How to transition smoothly from home to facility with a moving day checklist
Our Independent Living & Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) How-to Kit includes in-depth information on:
- What to expect from Independent Living and Retirement Communities
- Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) including what they are, what services and amenities to expect and how to find one
- The differences between CCRCs and life care communities and how facility contracts work (This is a must-read before signing any contract!)

Moving Made Easy
Almost no one looks forward to the actual moving part of moving. Even if you are excited about a new home, the packing of boxes, decisions over what to keep, what to donate or throw out along with the logistics of getting from one place to another can be overwhelming. The one thing that can make moving better is being one step ahead of any potential issues—and we can help you do that!
