Rita was a professional model, Miss Fireworks 1950 and a great mom to four daughters. Still, as she aged her daughters had to come together to make important decisions about her health and living situation after their father passed away. She needed to move to an assisted living community in Los Angeles.
They were lucky – the sisters were very much on the same page, each with dedicated roles and responsibilities for Rita’s care – one taking the lead on the medical decisions, another assisting with technical help, another sister was local. She provided hands-on care, and her youngest daughter Ronni managed her finances.
As it came time to transition Rita from her own home to an assisted living community the options and amount of information were overwhelming.
“It’s a challenging process to go from moving Mom from her own home to creating a new home,” shared Ronni.
It was important for them all to make a choice they – and Rita – could all get behind. They sought a community that could keep Rita more engaged, with plenty of activities and an elegant environment, but found that of LA’s hundreds of senior living options, not many felt as fabulous as their mother. Ronni and her sisters struggled with where to go and what to do. The sheer amount of footwork needed to feel like they were making a comprehensive decision truly was staggering.
Once they found Assisted Living Locators Los Angeles they were able to streamline a time-consuming process and choose the right living situation for their mom with ease. They worked with the local experts at Assisted Living Locators to understand Rita’s needs and each sister’s requirements for the new home for their mom. Assisted Living Locators then helped them narrow the options to those appropriate for Rita’s budget, health concerns, preferred living environment and more, and toured with them at each community. A process that once seemed daunting became seamless and organized.
“We made a decision so fast, we would’ve never been able to do that without Assisted Living Locators.”
Recently, Rita’s care needs progressed past what her current community offered, and Ronni knew they’d only have to make one call to Assisted Living Locators Los Angeles to find another great place for Rita to call home. They were again able to expedite the process and find Rita a smaller board and care home that not only could care for her, but fit her personality.
