At Signature Pointe, it’s our goal to provide senior living resources that ensure you’re making the best decision for your future. Check out the answers to the questions we hear most often at our senior living community.
When is the right time for my parents to move into a retirement community?
The best time to move to any retirement community is when residents are still active and in good health. Signature Pointe’s independent living in Dallas is the perfect choice for anyone who desires to continue the lifestyle they’ve come to love and also enjoy the reassurance of on-site care if needed. This exceptional lifestyle will offer your loved ones the time and opportunities to discover new talents and make new friends.
How can I help my parents transition to a retirement community?
AARP suggests an adult child ask his or her parents questions that might help start the conversation. You would not ask all these questions in one sitting, but use them as a guide for topics of conversation when the time is right.
A few examples: Is your home still appropriate for your needs? Are there stairs or security issues? Do you need help with household chores? Can you cook your favorite meals? Hear the doorbell ring? Do you feel comfortable driving? Would it be a great relief to have transportation available right at your door? Are your prescriptions current and are you taking your medications correctly? Have you seen the doctor lately? Do you get lonely, especially at mealtimes?
Can my parents decorate their residence?
Absolutely. Your parents are invited to make themselves at home by furnishing or decorating their residence as they choose.
What is offered with Assisted Living?
As the name suggests, Assisted Living offers individuals assistance with the activities of daily living, dressing, bathing, dining, medication management—while still providing every opportunity for maintaining the highest possible level of independence. At Signature Pointe, this is all delivered in an atmosphere of sophistication and hospitality. Services are tailored to match individual needs for maximum convenience and comfort.
What is Memory Care?
Memory care provides a specialized environment for residents coping with memory loss, Alzheimer’s, or other dementia-related disorders. Therapeutic activities and programs help maximize existing cognitive abilities, diminish anxiety, lessen confusion, and increase peace of mind. Signature Pointe is a top choice for memory care in Dallas.
What advantages does Signature Pointe offer a senior facing memory loss?
A quality memory care program provides countless benefits such as safety, nutrition, and professional support. Activities and programs provide mental stimulation and interaction. Therapeutic tools such as music and art can awaken the senses and provide moments of personal success.
Will my parent’s long-term care insurance help pay for Assisted Living or Memory Care?
Most policies do help cover the costs of Assisted Living or Memory Care, but you will need to know your specific coverage to be sure. We can help—just bring a copy of your policy with you when you visit Signature Pointe. Long-term care insurance is not required to be a resident.
When is living at home no longer an option?
Watch for signs it may not be ideal—or safe—for an aging parent to live at home. For example, your loved one may stop doing a longtime hobby or suddenly withdraw from friends or activities. Sudden weight loss, a change in grooming habits, or a house in disorder may signal your parent needs assistance. If your loved one displays an inability to follow conversations, or you suspect memory loss is disrupting your loved one’s daily routine, it could be time to seek medical advice.
Is any assistance available for Veterans or their spouses?
If either of your parents is a Veteran or the widow of a Veteran, he or she may be eligible for a wide variety of benefits available to all U.S. military Veterans. These include disability compensation, pension, education and training, health care, home loans, insurance, vocation, rehabilitation and employment, and burial. At Signature Pointe, Veterans benefits may assist with the costs associated with Assisted Living and Memory Care. Let us help you get the answers or go to www.va.gov
