Frequently Asked Questions

Answers and Advice For Your Senior Living Journey

There are many decisions involved in finding the right senior living community for you or a family member. A good place to begin your research is to determine the right level of living and what your needs are.

Senior living communities offer several different options depending on the resident’s needs and desired lifestyle, including independent living, assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing care, senior rehabilitation, and in-home care services.

Once you’ve determined the level of living you’re looking for, you’ll want to find your desired location, determine your budget, and begin touring communities. We offer a free financial planning tool to help determine your budget. Our team is also available to assist you at each stage of the process. Contact us today for more information.

Many people do not begin evaluating senior living options until a need arises, such as a medical emergency or a decline in their well-being. Unfortunately, many residents and their families tell us that they ultimately regret not starting their search earlier.

Additionally, many residents in their 60s and 70s moved to Kirby Pines sooner to enjoy the active lifestyle, maintenance-free living, and refined residences we offer. Kirby Pines is open to all adults 55 and over. Wherever you are in your senior living search, you can count on our experienced team to help you navigate next steps. Contact us today to explore your options.

When touring a senior living community, make note of the quality and warmth of staff interactions, the cleanliness and upkeep of the buildings, the variety of events and programs on the activities calendar, the dining experience, and whether current residents look engaged and happy. Ask about staff tenure, accreditations, healthcare ratings, and how the community handles transitions to higher levels of care.

The Kirby Pines team is committed to transparency and we welcome any questions you have. We encourage you to visit our campus in person to understand the full resident experience. Contact us today with questions or to schedule a private tour.

Many standard senior living communities offer only one level of care, requiring residents to find a new community as their needs evolve. Also known as Continuing Care Retirement Communities(CCRCs), LifeCare communities like Kirby Pines allow our residents to easily transition between levels of living on our campus as their needs change, without having to move outside the community.
