When I Looked Into Assisted Living Phoenix I Was Thrilled With What I Found

When my grandmother admitted that she had been sleeping in her overstuffed chair in her living room because she had been unable to get herself up the stairs to her bedroom, we all realized that the time had come to look into getting her into one of the places for assisted living Phoenix had to offer. Frankly, we were all a little relieved that we had a good excuse to get her out of her house because the neighborhood had deteriorated considerably since the days when she and my late grandfather had bought it.

Of course, since I was the only one living in the Phoenix area of all of my family members, the job of finding her somewhere to live fell to me and I really had no idea where to start. I had heard a lot of appalling stories about older people being neglected and abused in nursing homes, so I wanted to find the absolute best assisted living Phoenix had to offer, so that we could all feel assured that she would be happy and well taken care of.

Being a young and fairly technologically savvy person, I figured that the Internet would be my first, best, and simplest option in terms of finding out what the different communities in the Phoenix area had to offer. It turns out that I was right, and after some thorough researching, I found that one senior community really stood out to me as being the best for my grandmother as they would allow her to have the freedom and independence she wanted but they would also be there to take care of her as she needed more help and care.

I talked to my grandma about it and we set up a time for us to go down there together and take a look at the place so we could determine if it was a place she would like to live. I have to say, I was scared that we would go down there and my grandmother would not approve and I would be forced to go back to the beginning, but she actually loved it and was excited to move in as soon as possible.

I made all of the arrangements and my parents flew down to help with the actual move, for which I was incredibly grateful, since I had to deal with my own life as well as get Grandma out of the home she had lived in for many decades. Once the move was done, Grandma was very pleased and announced that she was in the best independent living Phoenix had to offer!
