Determine Your Ideal Living Space

Explore our senior housing solutions with the assistance of our knowledgeable team. Obtain a floor plan with dimensions that allow you to envision your new home. Establish a move time frame, and if necessary, schedule a medical assessment to ensure your needs are addressed.

Organize Your Paperwork

Prepare essential documents to facilitate a smooth transition. This includes financial applications, a completed 1823 form by your attending physician for assisted living, DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) on yellow paper, living will, power of attorney, health care surrogate, long-term care insurance details, veteran discharge records (if applicable), and your Covid vaccination certificate.

Notify Relevant Parties

Inform key individuals and entities about your move to Ageless Care Solutions, including family, friends, neighbors, attorneys, medical professionals, financial institutions, CPA, pharmacy, subscriptions, auto registration and insurance carrier, and voter registration.

Consult with a Realtor

Obtain Liability Insurance

Secure a renter’s policy to protect your belongings in your new living space.

Consider Professional Assistance

Explore the support of professionals trained to assist you, including downsizers/move managers, decorators, computer installers, and personal assistants for light shopping and unpacking.

Decide What to Bring

Be realistic about your belongings and what to bring. Consider ordering new furniture or custom closets to optimize your new space. Think about additional amenities like a new bed or a flat-screen TV.

Enhance Security

For added peace of mind, consider purchasing a safe for your new apartment.
