Contemplating a Move to Senior Living During COVID-19

As COVID numbers begin to drop, vaccination becomes more wide-spread and restrictions begin to lift, many people are re-evaluating the lifestyle benefits that senior living offers, especially after nearly a year of isolation. While each individual and family must make the choice that is right for them, for some, the advantages of living in a senior living community outweigh the reasons to postpone a move, particularly as we navigate these changing, yet still challenging, times.
