SCCC 132: Next Steps In Finding the Right Community
Course Significance:
Age does not define us, and we all want and need different things throughout our lifetime. Defining what we want, and need is a soul-searching process but one that will pay off in the decision-making process. And while the internet is certainly a great way to glean information about the various senior living options, when it comes to making this important decision an in-person visit is necessary. This course will provide tools for helping someone identify what they really want and need and navigate the in-person visit. The outcome will be finding the right fit, the right community to call home.
Learning Objectives:
Finding the right senior living community is a multi-step process. The first 3 steps were discussed in a NFESH web-based course called Housing and Supportive Services for Seniors: Exploring the Options. They included:
- Step one-Evaluating the Current Living Situation and reason for moving
- Step two- Review of Senior Housing Options
- Step three- Identifying location of where to live and budget for how much an individual wants to spend
While it may seem like all of the homework has been completed, two other steps are needed to ensure the right decision is made. These last two steps in the process will be discussed in this course. They include making a detailed list of personal needs and preferences, and an in-person visit to possible senior living communities.

SCCC 131: Senior Housing Options
Course Significance:
Professionals working with older adults have an opportunity to be a resource and provide information and education to help seniors age with dignity. A large part of quality of life in older years, is living in the best setting to meet individual needs and preferences. Unfortunately finding information on available options can be challenging. While some government agencies can provide information, local organizations can be especially useful in providing community specific information. This course will describe and define the various housing options available for seniors and provide tools to assist with the decision-making process.
Learning Objectives:
Through this course, the participant will gain a better understanding of housing options and supportive services available for people as they age, and their needs and preferences change. Whether someone is looking at options for themselves or helping a loved one, the process can be overwhelming. A broad range of options exist that include staying in the family home with home care, independent living, assisted living, continuing care retirement communities and skilled nursing care. New innovative housing and service models are being developed all the time to meet the needs and desires of aging baby boomers. The options today are quite different from what existed for our grandparents. This course will provide an overview of the options, and tools to help seniors make this important decision.
