Kevin was there for us from beginning to end, answering our many questions and offering helpful suggestions and insights. He made this extremely difficult transition much more bearable for us. I highly recommend this service. Angela

The advisor was extremely helpful and caring during a difficult and emotional time for me. She helped me find a good safe place for my husband. In a situation where I couldn’t personally check out the facility because of the virus quarantine, I felt confident in her recommendation of the care facility I chose. Terri

Assisted living help with Bonnie was amazing. She helped set up video visits with my mother in the hospital and explained well her placement options. She talked with my wife and I at length and found my mother an excellent place for her new home. Jeff M.D.

What is an independent living advisor?

An independent living advisor is a professional who assists seniors and their families in finding suitable living arrangements in senior living communities that cater to their individual needs and preferences. They provide guidance on the various independent living options, such as retirement communities, active adult communities, and senior apartments.

How do I know if I need an independent living advisor?

You may need an independent living advisor if you or a loved one are considering transitioning to a senior living community but are unsure where to begin or which options best suit your needs.

An independent living advisor can save time and effort by researching on your behalf, touring communities with you, and handling negotiations with community administrators. They can also help you understand the various types of senior living options and associated costs and answer any questions or concerns.

What qualifications should an independent living advisor have?

Advisors typically have experience working in the senior living industry and may have a professional designation, such as Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) or Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS).

Also, a good independent living advisor should have strong communication and interpersonal skills, empathy, and compassion for their clients. They should be knowledgeable about the various senior living options and local resources available and be able to provide objective, unbiased advice to help their clients make informed decisions about their future living arrangements.

What kind of information should I provide to an independent living advisor?

To get the most out of your independent living advisor, it's important to provide them with as much information as possible about your or your loved one's needs, preferences, and lifestyle. Some key information to share includes:

Medical history and current health status
Budget and financial resources
Desired location and proximity to family and friends
Lifestyle preferences, such as activities and amenities
Special needs or accommodations required, such as accessibility or dietary restrictions

What steps are involved in finding the perfect senior living community?

Assessing your needs and preferences by understanding your medical needs, lifestyle preferences, and budget.
Researching senior living options online, seeking recommendations from family and friends, and reviewing community websites and brochures.
Touring communities by visiting potential communities in person, meeting with staff, and evaluating the quality of care, amenities, and services.
Evaluating costs associated with different senior living options, such as monthly rent, healthcare, and fees.

What is A Senior Independent Living Community?

When you need help caring for your loved one or helping them make the transition into their golden years, assisted living facilities and nursing homes aren't the only senior care choices available to you.

Simply put, an Independent Living Community for seniors is there for those who need more socialization than living alone at home. They don’t require regular medical services, but they may need a little help around the house.

Most independent living communities Nationwide provide personal senior apartments — with one or two bedrooms — along with their own full or partial kitchens and laundry rooms. Residents also enjoy the added choice to eat with friends in a community dining room with prepared meals. There are no living restrictions, and seniors have the freedom to come and go whenever they please. The primary goal of independent living is community.

When you partner with CarePatrol, it becomes our mission to empower your loved one to live independently, join a built-in community of active adults, and start an exciting new chapter of their life. Once they find the right independent living community, they won't have to leave their interests behind, either. Residents in independent living facilities can stay active and make new friends as they enjoy cooking classes, book clubs, movie nights, support groups, fitness classes, and other planned events and activities.

To tour vibrant senior living communities in your area, reach out to CarePatrol and connect with our Independent Placement Advisors today.

Answers to the Most Common Questions About Independent Living in Walnut Creek

When Should We Consider Independent Living For Our Loved One?

Independent Living Care Advisors | East Bay: Walnut Creek, Danville, Concord CA - il2

An Independent Living community in Walnut Creek is for those seniors who can care for themselves but are needing more socialization with others. There are several things to consider to understand when Independent Living may be a benefit for your loved one(s). A telltale sign is a sudden or gradual decline in socialization.

Friends move away or pass away leaving your parent(s) feeling isolated or depressed. A lack of socialization has been linked to elderly depression. Sometimes with those feelings seniors tend to be less active in the community. You may notice them driving less than they used to, or not going out for errands or shopping as much. These feelings could also explain why they could be missing doctor appointments or are late for activities that they have planned.

At CarePatrol, we work hard to help older adults maintain independence as long as possible. To find an independent living community that best fits your needs, reach out today.

What Is The Cost Of Independent Living in Walnut Creek?

Independent Living Care Advisors | East Bay: Walnut Creek, Danville, Concord CA - al1

When it comes to independent living cost, prices vary greatly based on the number of services that are offered. The national average for senior independent living is $2,750 per month. Some communities can be less without added services, while high-end independent living with all the "bells and whistles" can be upwards of $9,000 or more per month.

If you or your loved one have long-term care insurance in place, it may pay for most or all of the necessary care. If you do not have long-term care insurance and do not have an immediate need for long-term care, it may be something you want to look into purchasing to plan ahead. CarePatrol can help you go through the fine print to figure out what each policy covers.

Your CarePatrol Local Advisor can point you and your family members to an Independent Living community that meets your needs and your budget.
