In the current economic climate, seniors may still be postponing selecting or moving to long term care (whether in-home or in a residence). Although the housing crisis has placed senior housing options out of reach for many, alternatives such as home health services, assisted living, or even affordable retirement community options go unnoticed. A leading issue compounding or even superceding affordability are concerns many seniors have with moving to an unfamiliar environment.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau there are two key changes that seniors have to deal with. First, seniors have to deal with the stress and changes of moving residences an average of 11.7 times throughout their lives. Second, the life expectancy in the United States has grown to 77.7 years from 61.7 years in 1935. With this additional 16 years comes that many more years of change to plan for and embrace. Fortunately for the seniors struggling to make these difficult choices and changes, with the help of seniorDECISION (www.seniordecision.com), seniors and families can browse through ratings and reviews of senior housing choices, and read reviews from other seniors who have had to make the adjustment to a new lifestyle in senior living communities.
