Moving to Senior Living: Navigating the Process

Choosing to move to senior living is an opportunity to be intentional about what comes next and ensure your lifestyle stays aligned with your desires.

Your routine, your new surroundings and opportunities—every aspect of your next move should be filled with excitement. Whether you're preparing for a move or still imagining the possibilities, this guide is here to help streamline your approach to the process and preserve that sense of anticipation.

Before the Move

Conversations with Family

There are many ways to talk about a move to senior living, and openness is key. If you're considering the change for yourself, it's worth sharing what you want daily life to look like, from the pace of your mornings to the kinds of activities that energize you. If you’re supporting a loved one, your role is just as much about listening as it is about guiding. At Village on the Green, we believe thoughtful conversations lay the groundwork for a positive move.

Financial Planning

Your years of thoughtful preparation have taught you that financial planning is about more than spreadsheets. It’s about making sure your lifestyle and priorities stay in sync with your budget so you can be prepared for the future and ready to enjoy the present. At Village on the Green, we’ll help you explore what’s included, understand Life Plan benefits or monthly contracts should there be an immediate healthcare need, and think through the value of future-ready planning. That way, you're making a decision rooted in foresight and built to serve you well over time.

Moving into a new space is an opportunity to reset. Whether you’re downsizing from a larger home or curating a smaller one, simplifying gives you the chance to decide what truly matters.
