When we were young our parents cared for and raised us into the adults we are. Now, in their golden years, we want to provide them with the same comfort and quality of life they provided for us during our childhood.

The decision of moving a parent to assisted living is one of the toughest choices you will ever have to make. You must weigh your ability to live your own life against the desire to care for your loved ones. If you feel that you have reached the limit of what you can do for your loved ones, it may be time to move them into an assisted living center.
