Questions Families Ask Before Choosing
If you're asking these questions, you're not alone
How do I know it's the right time to move my parent?
Signs include safety concerns (falls, wandering), difficulty with daily tasks, social isolation, or caregiver burnout. Trust your instincts—if you're asking this question, you're likely seeing warning signs. Schedule a tour and assessment to explore whether Northern Pines might be the right fit.
What if my parent refuses to move?
Resistance is common and understandable. We recommend starting with a casual tour—"just to look"—with no pressure. Many families find that once their parent visits and meets our staff, their concerns ease. We're experienced in helping families navigate this transition with patience and understanding.
How involved can I be in my parent's care?
As involved as you want to be. We have an open-door visiting policy, families can join for meals, and we encourage participation in care decisions. Many families visit daily; others weekly. You're always welcome, and we maintain open communication about your parent's wellbeing.
Will my parent make friends and stay active?
Most residents surprise their families with how social and active they become. Our daily activities, family-style dining, and community spaces naturally foster friendships. We often hear "Dad is more engaged than he's been in years"—because isolation ends when community begins.
