Our experience and research shows that families find it extremely difficult to determine the right time to have their loved one move out of their current living situation and into assisted living. Change is scary, and losing one's independence is even worse. We want to respect our loved one's wishes but need to find a balance between their wants and needs. We have to place their safety and security above their immediate desires; to be proactive rather than be forced to move after a devastating accident.

Dr. Arlen Burger has developed "Is the Time Right? Eldercare Placement Survey to help you to understand when it may be appropriate to make the move into assisted living. All you have to do is click on the Survey button. You will be taken to our survey site where you can answer questions about your loved one and your responsibilities as a caregiver. We will provide you with a customized analysis of your situation. Please note that the analysis is completely objective - it is not our goal to rush your decision.
