These days, more and more seniors are looking to downsize their homes in search of something more affordable and easier to maintain. Many seniors look around in their sixties, seventies, or beyond and realize that their house is too big, full of clutter, expensive to live in, tiring to take care of, or isolated. The solution to these problems is often to downsize by moving to a smaller home, moving in with a relative, or moving into a residential community designed for seniors.

Downsizing is often the best option for aging adults who want to cut costs or have medical problems requiring constant care. Selling their homes could provide them with additional funds to cover their retirement and other medical expenses.

It is important that seniors understand their options to find a place best suited for their care needs and still allow them to thrive physically and mentally. AssistedLiving.org created guides that provide data on the cost of senior living communities including a number of financial assistance programs and resources that could help the elderly and their loved ones make informed decisions.
