Transferring from an Apartment to a Senior Condominium

Moving from an apartment to a senior living condominium is an exciting transition that can provide safety, comfort, and a community that fits your lifestyle. At Coventry House Assisted Living, we offer senior condominiums in eastern Washington that include tons of amenities and welcoming residents and staff. These tips for transitioning to a senior condominium can help make your move easier and minimize stress.

Benefits of Our Eastern Washington Senior Living Condominium

All of our facilities at Coventry House Assisted Living are designed with aging in mind. This means that we offer features that enhance safety, accessibility, convenience, comfort and support independent living. Not only that, sharing meals, activities, outings and spending time with other residents can improve your quality of life.

Some major benefits of living in condominiums for seniors include:

Low-maintenance living – In our community, you don’t need to worry about maintenance, exterior repairs or landscaping.

Accessibility – Our senior living condominiums offer features like ADA-compliant doorways and walk-in showers that make it easier to get around.

A vibrant social life – Residents enjoy opportunities to connect with their neighbors every day through activities, clubs, community events, meals, and more.

Safety and security – Our senior living community features common protocols like on-site security, key card access, and 24/7 emergency response systems.

Preparing for Your Move

Careful planning before you move can make the transition to a senior condominium easier. One of the most important things to do is declutter and downsize. It helps to sort belongings into piles as you go through them: keep, donate, sell, or discard. Digitizing documents and photos can also help you save space in your senior condominium. We understand that it can be hard to let go of certain things – having trusted friends or family members help you downsize can ease feelings of overwhelm or anxiety.

Plan the Layout of Your New Home

Obtaining a floor plan of your senior living condominium before you move can give you a chance to determine how your belongings and furniture will fit and how you’d like to set them up. This can help to ensure your condo isn’t overcrowded and create a comfortable setup you can enjoy from the get-go.

Hire Professional Movers

Certain moving companies specialize in senior relocations and can help with packing, transportation, and setting up your new condominium.

Adjusting to Your New Lifestyle

Transitioning to senior living condominiums involves much more than just physically moving to a new location. The emotional and social changes can be overwhelming, so take it easy on yourself and be initiative-taking about making the most of your new environment. Keeping in touch with friends and neighbors from your previous apartment can help ease the transition as well.

Personalize Your Space

Decorating your eastern Washington senior living condominium with familiar items helps create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Family photos, favorite blankets and towels, cherished furniture, and other decorative elements can give you a sense of comfort and make your condo feel like home.

Get Involved in the Community

Our senior assisted living community offers a wide range of activities. From fitness classes to game nights to creative arts, music, and social gatherings, getting involved in activities, events, and outings can help you make new friends and give you a sense of belonging. Adjusting to a new home takes time, so be patient and allow yourself to settle in while embracing the positives of your new living situation.
