Knowing when it's time for assisted living is one of the hardest calls families face. These signs help you decide — for a parent in St. Petersburg or anywhere.
Signs it may be time
Frequent falls, missed medications, weight loss or skipped meals, isolation and loneliness, declining hygiene, unsafe driving, or a caregiver who's burning out. Two or more, together, usually mean it's worth exploring options.
Assisted living suits someone who needs help with daily activities but not 24-hour skilled nursing.
How to start
Tour a couple of St. Petersburg communities, compare all-in pricing, and talk to a free advisor. Acting before a crisis gives you more and better choices.
