Ideas and Options for Older Adults in Niagara

You will notice our reluctance here to use the word "senior".  We at JustShelter are all over 50, some well over. We, like most other 'boomers' are not and will not be seniors.  It is conceit our generation laughs about, albeit some what self-consciously.  

However, reality is setting in.  Every generation goes through changing stages of housing needs.  Every generation, as they get to be "people of a certain age" first denies the need for change. 

"We advise seniors, and sometimes their supporting family, to help them understand the full range of options open to them"

Since you are reading this, you are either an older adult or a family member looking for advice for parents.  You can define yourself, but from now on, we will use the "S" word for simplicity.  Besides, we might as well grow up and get used to it. (However, and typical of our generation, do so on our terms - or so we think.)

Our work as developers of housing for older adults and in helping them move to more desirable housings has given us  countless conversations about what works best.  This next move for can be for some the most stressful of their life.  Kids can bounce from place to place with some ease.  We, however, have a life time of possessions, precious neighbours, and memories to sort out and downsize.  

What is needed is objective advice about the full range of options available in the market, covering both government subsidized and private pay choices, and ranging from active adult independent living settings through supportive service programs, assisted living, congregate care and skilled nursing care. 

We advise seniors, and sometimes their supporting family, to help them understand the full range of options open to them, and to stream-line the often exhausting process of calling or visiting facilities. We provide our clients with  meet with them to discuss their lifestyle and budget preferences and help determine the best choices.

"A Senior is someone who is older than you....unless there is a discount."  Those in denial will even lie about this!

According to a recent survey, when 50 year olds were asked: "At what age is a person old?", the median response was "79".
