Deciding to Move... 15 Factors
to Consider
Is it time for you or one of your loved
ones to move, in order to have a more rewarding or less
worrisome life?
This quick quiz can help you decide. If you answer “Yes” to
five or more statements, you should:
Stairs and other structural features
make it difficult for me or my spouse to move around in
the house,
and I
worry about falls.
My neighborhood doesn’t feel as
safe as it used to feel.
The property values in my neighborhood
have gone up so much that I worry about being able to pay
my taxes.
I can’t maintain my house and my
yard the way I would like to.
I have a hard time remembering
to take all my medications.
If I couldn’t drive, I would not be able to get to
the grocery story, to doctor’s appointments, to religious
services and important social events.
I sometimes forget
to tend to daily tasks.
I’d like to travel, but I
don’t, because I
worry about my home.
My family and friends aren’t
able to visit me or help me as much as they would like
because we live too
far apart.
I am not eating the way I should.
I worry
a lot about the future.
I would like someone else to tend
to housekeeping, cooking meals, and untangling things like
monthly bills, health
insurance, and other paperwork.
It is becoming a struggle
to care for myself or my spouse in our current home.
Now
that being near work and schools aren’t major
considerations, I’d like to be closer to the people
and places that play significant roles in my current life.
