About Me
Discussing The Benefits Of Assisted Living

Hi everyone. I’m Seth. When my grandparents started having health problems, the family was divided on how to help them. They were unsafe living alone together, but they did not want to burden anyone by moving into a shared space. Although many people offered to let them move in, they never did budge on their stance.

Please feel free to use the information on my site to help make this important decision for your aging family members. Thanks.
