7. Balance First Impressions with Reality

Take first impressions of a community seriously, but balance those initial impressions with other factors.  Some first impressions might include the overall neighborhood setting  – the quality of the landscaping, the campus layout, and the residence’s exterior.  When you enter a residence, think about your comfort level.  Check out the public spaces and remember they are a shared extension of the private living space.  Remember that you aren’t trying to replace the total living area of your current home.  You’re making an informed trade-off between a relatively large home with a more appropriate sheltered living that offers an exstensive array of services specifically designed for this stage of your or your loved one’s life.
