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.
