What Triggers a Move from Independent Living to Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing?

A move to assisted living or skilled nursing is typically triggered by changes in health or daily needs, such as difficulty with activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, or mobility challenges.

In a CCRC, these transitions are easier because health services support is already available on campus. This allows residents to receive additional support without leaving their community, maintaining continuity and reducing stress during times of change.
