At Bayshire Yorba Linda, we know that making a move to senior living is a big, emotional decision, for seniors and their families. This chapter represents a wonderful possibility for you or your loved one to enjoy more comfort, care and community. Set in the peaceful Santa Ana Mountain foothills, our continuing care retirement community (CCRC) provides a secure, luxurious and supportive environment where residents can live their best lives.

But how can you guarantee that the change to senior living will be easy and painless? Drawing from our extensive experience of supporting residents and families, we have put together the following tips and supporting strategies to help you navigate this major transition.

1. Start the Conversation Early

Moving to senior living is not something you decide to do tomorrow. We advise families to begin the conversation early, not when a crisis occurs. Talking about lifestyle preferences, health needs and long-term goals ensures everyone is on the same page. At Bayshire Yorba Linda, we are always available to answer any questions you may have and provide you with information on the senior living options available in our community, including assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing.

2. Take a Physical Tour of the Community

Visiting in person can help to dispel doubts and get people excited about the future. Future residents can take a tour of our active community to see our different floor plan options, walk our five acres of landscaped grounds and experience what a typical day at Bayshire Yorba Linda is like. It is also an opportunity to interact with the staff who are always available to provide care, companionship and comfort to the residents.

When you visit, don’t be afraid to ask about our services and amenities, including:

  • Gourmet meals prepared by a registered dietitian
  • A full calendar of life enrichment activities and events
  • Personalized care plans and wellness support
  • Pet-friendly living and onsite salon/barber services

These features set the stage for a truly remarkable senior living experience.

 3. Get Your Loved One Involved in the Decision.

The ability to make choices is key to a seamless transition. When older adults get to choose the floor plan, furniture or even the pictures to hang on the wall of their new senior living apartment, it makes them feel more in control and excited. At Bayshire Yorba Linda, we have a variety of floor plans, including light-filled studios and spacious two-bedroom options, all designed for comfort and easy personalization.

4. Downsize Thoughtfully, Not Hastily.

Downsizing is not about discarding precious items, it is about selecting items that fit the new lifestyle. Set aside time to sort through your belongings with care. It is possible to retain items that are significant to you and make the new apartment feel homey. Our team at Bayshire Yorba Linda can help you with local moving services and even help you with furniture arrangement or hanging your artwork, to make the moving process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

 5. Get Connected Before the Move

It is important to get familiar with the new community before the new student moves in. We invite prospective residents to one of our community events, for instance, a social mixer, wellness workshop or a holiday gathering. It is an excellent way to meet new neighbors and start making friends before joining our community officially.

And once you’re here? Expect a warm welcome. Our residents and staff alike take pride in our inclusive, neighborly atmosphere.

6. Emphasize on the Advantages of Community Living

Another great thing about senior living at Bayshire Yorba Linda is the exciting, hassle-free lifestyle that comes with it. The residents do not have to concern themselves with household chores, safety issues or feelings of loneliness. Instead, they gain access to:

  •  24/7 awake staff and emergency response pendants
  • Appointments and outings require transportation services for our residents.
  • Our community offers socialization activities daily together with learning experiences and entertainment opportunities.
  • Our establishment provides a protected environment which develops support services according to individual needs.

The community provides more than housing because it serves as a place where people truly belong. Our continuum of care allows you to stay in one place while progressing from assisted living to memory care or skilled nursing because we support aging with dignity.

 7. Transition at Your Own Pace

Each person experiences their transition in their own special way. The process of transition starts with brief visits or short-term stays before most residents decide to settle permanently. People exhibit different levels of readiness when it comes to adapting to new ways of living. Our team stands ready to offer support through every phase of your transition. Our dedicated staff creates individualized care plans and offers emotional support to make residents feel at home.

Families obtain immeasurable peace of mind when they know their loved ones are secure under proper care and lead an active life.

8. Settle in and Embrace the Experience

After completing the move residents must focus on settling down while embracing the senior living experience. Engage in your favorite activities such as yoga or music or gardening and chef-prepared meals with your new friends. Our landscaped paths invite walkers to explore and relax in nature. The available opportunities remain available for whenever you feel ready to start.

The senior years at Bayshire Yorba Linda should be a period of dignity while experiencing joy through meaningful connections with others. The dedicated team at Bayshire Yorba Linda provides each resident with a safe environment and comprehensive support and sincere appreciation.
