What Moving Into Assisted Living with a Sibling Looks Like

Companion living doesn’t just have to be for couples. Siblings, relatives, and best friends can all share a suite in assisted living. It can be beneficial to share a senior living suite with someone a senior feels close to for many reasons. Some of the most popular ones being companionship, familiarity, and support. At MorningStar Senior Living, we are always happy to let siblings, relatives, and best friends live together in our modern 2 bedroom senior living suites. 

Navigating a New World Together

It can be daunting for a senior to go into assisted living alone. Even with the best external support, they can still feel like they’re leaving something behind. Transitioning to assisted living with a sibling or friend can make the choice that much easier. When seniors move into assisted living with someone they feel a close connection with, they are much more willing to explore the community together, meet new people, go to events, and generally feel more at home in a short amount of time. While there are still some adjustments, they are no longer experiencing those changes alone.

Familiar Support Always Nearby 

Living with someone a senior trust not only gives them a built-in companion, but it can help other family members to feel more at ease. Seniors with a strong relationship that live together already know each other’s routines, behaviors, medical history, and personality. They can often help to inform professionals when changes are happening that others may not be able to pick up on. Having a roommate seniors can trust helps them to feel more supported, especially in a new environment.
