When families consider whether assistance with daily tasks could help a loved one continue leading a quality life, they often research the options available for the best services, amenities and benefits.
Not all senior living communities are created the same or offer the same philosophy of aging well. But knowing the right questions to ask can help you discover the answer – and community – that is right for you.
Is senior living right for you? Questions to ask
Consider these senior living questions when exploring communities that support achieving a fulfilling and enriched life.
1. What type of help or assistance are you looking for?
Additional senior living questions:
a. Are you or a loved one able to continue living independently but could use a helping hand with daily tasks?
b. Are feelings of isolation or loneliness increasing and you’re looking for more social opportunities?
At Bruceville Point, our residents live active and independent lives in their full-sized apartments – and in most cases won’t need to move if they begin needing daily help. We provide assisted living as a service and deliver it discreetly in their apartments. This benefit can be short or long term. Our residents view this as a way that helps them continue to live their best lives while enjoying the familiarity of home.
2. Where could you best create your new home?
Additional senior living questions:
a. Are you ready to downsize from a larger home?
b. Are you looking for a community that you can genuinely call home?
Our philosophy at Bruceville Point is that our residents deserve an actual apartment and not merely a room. You’ll discover space large enough for full-sized living – including your dining table and sectional. Our residents also enjoy their full-sized kitchen and washer and dryer in the apartment.
3. Where can you continue living the life you love?
Additional senior living questions:
a. Have you found a community that promotes self-reliance?
b. Will you have to sacrifice your independence to receive assistance?
Whether it’s the ease in meeting new friends or having help with bathing or managing medications, Bruceville Point supports our residents to remain self-reliant. We understand there is much living yet to be done and we make it a point to offer exciting and fun adventures, both on-site and off. And we actively recruit our residents for their best ideas as this is truly their community.

4. Where will you have the most choices?
Additional senior living questions:
a. If an assisted living community, are the residents’ choices limited?
b. Are choices in daily life offered to the resident and their decisions respected?
At Bruceville Point, we take the concept of choices seriously. From the apartment layout and design – to the full calendar of activities and social events – to the three separate dining venues for residents to choose from, it’s part of why we are different from the other communities – and that is by design.
5. Does community living equal sacrifice for living spaces?
Additional senior living questions:
a. Do the communities you’re visiting provide inviting common and shared spaces?
b. Will you be encouraged to spend time both indoors and out?
Bruceville Point also takes the idea of spaces to another level. We have designed our community to appeal to the many preferences of our residents. Take a look at our outdoor spaces that include dining, conversation areas and even one for pets and their owners.
6. Which community best matches your preferences and desired lifestyle?
Additional senior living questions:
a. Have you found a community that speaks most directly to your needs and preferences?
b. In what ways are they a good fit?
At Bruceville Point, community life enhances the ability to create an active and engaged lifestyle, as well as make it easier and more convenient to achieve. We strongly include and promote working with our residents if there is a feature, amenity or activity they would like to see available.
7. Which community stands out and why?
Additional senior living questions:
a. Do you feel as if you’ve seen the same community over and over?
b. Is there a community that stands apart from the rest?
c. If yes, what makes them different?
At Bruceville Point, we provide what our residents tell us they need to live and age well. If you’re visiting our community, we believe these differences stand out – from the unique monthly activities to the spacious and beautiful apartment homes to the genuine sense of camaraderie between the residents and the staff.
We base our offered lifestyle on YUSM, which stands for Feeling Youthful, Staying Useful, Being Spontaneous and Remaining Mobile. We believe these elements best support an enriched life. It’s a promise we make to the residents and is the foundation of all of our services and amenities.
