Selling, Buying, and Senior Living Memory Care

What could be more challenging to navigate than the hard work of selling a home in a challenging housing market and the internal emotions linked to finding a new home and community? 

Answer: 

A tougher mountain to scale would be selling, buying, and having a close family member who may need senior living memory care. You may know someone who this applies to, or you may currently host this senior family member living in your home.

You feel the need to sell your home for one reason or another. It could be back-to-school changes or maybe a corporate relocation for your family. It’s tough. And the only way to make it better is to find all of the educational resources you can and consider your options. Having someone to talk to is the first step toward making progress in this unsettling scenario. And that’s why Pamela Nichols REALTOR® is more concerned with you and your family than a real estate transaction.

We want to share these valuable resources with you and others so you can find the answers you need regarding senior living memory care. It’s a real deal and we care.

Alzheimer’s or dementia symptoms can quickly grow into debilitating circumstances for families. Not only is it interruptive for your marriage and family — and often young children — it’s unhealthy and unsafe to continue hosting your senior family member. Granted, this is an emotional decision that you may be forced into contemplating. It may be in their best interest for you to consider a permanent change as memory loss symptoms continue to escalate. You need professional resources, counsel, and assistance to navigate this difficult decision.
