Spring Oak Senior Living at Forked River

The holidays can bring joy, togetherness, and reflection — but they can also highlight concerns families have been quietly carrying all year.

Many families ask us the same question: Should we make a move to assisted living now, or wait until after the holidays?

This article was written for families feeling that quiet knot of worry that often surfaces this time of year — noticing small changes, managing extra stress, and wondering if it’s time to do something more. It walks through the realities families face, from safety and shifting routines to loneliness and caregiver fatigue, and explains why the right support can make a meaningful difference during the season.

If you know a friend or family member navigating this conversation right now, please share this article with them.

With a heat wave sweeping through all of our Spring Oak communities this week, it's critical to remember seniors are more vulnerable to dehydration and heat-related illnesses — and they may not realize they’re overheated until it becomes dangerous.

Here are a few key tips from Denise Cantoni, our Senior Director of Health & Wellness for Spring Oak Senior Living, to help keep older adults safe:

✅ Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of water regularly, even if you’re not thirsty. Caffeine and alcohol can worsen dehydration.
✅ Dress Smart – Light-colored, breathable clothing helps regulate body temperature.
✅ Keep Cool Indoors – Use fans or air conditioning, and close blinds during the hottest hours.
✅ Limit Outdoor Activity – Avoid being outside between 10 AM and 4 PM. If you need to go out, wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen.
✅ Check-In Often – Seniors may not feel the heat the same way younger people do. Check-in on aging loved ones to make sure they’re okay.

Our teams are actively monitoring conditions and keeping our residents safe and cool — every step of the way.

💚 Stay safe out there — and share this post to help others do the same!
