May 2025: Tools That Make a Difference in Senior Living Moves

We know that move-ins don’t just happen. They’re built through trust, clarity, and the right support at the right time. As senior living communities continue to welcome new waves of residents, the most successful teams are the ones helping families navigate the journey, not just check off a to-do list.

In this month’s Good Moves, we’re sharing ways you can reduce hesitation and increase confidence whether it’s through innovative placement support, lesser-known financial resources, or simply better conversations about what’s next.

In this edition:

• How to help veteran families tap into Aid & Attendance benefits
• Why community placement support matters more than ever
• Smart insights to guide families on when to list their home
• Quick strategies to uncover what’s really stalling a decision

Behind every delayed move-in, there’s usually a hidden barrier that is either emotional, financial, or logistical. That’s why LivNow partners with trusted services to address challenges head-on and help families move forward with greater clarity and ease.

Here are a couple of ways you can empower prospective residents right now:

• Help Veteran Families Access What They’ve Earned: Many veterans and surviving spouses are unaware they may qualify for the VA’s Aid & Attendance benefit—a monthly, needs-based pension that can help pay for senior living. Through Patriot Angels, your team can connect eligible families with the support they need to apply and qualify. It’s often the tipping point that makes move-in financially possible.
• Placement support with a personal touch: Choosing the right community is a big decision, and sometimes the sheer number of options can create decision fatigue. Senior Care Finder partners with LivNow to offer an online tool to search, compare amenities, and help narrow down the best senior living communities so families can make informed choices without being overwhelmed. The result? Less stress, more comfort, and faster transitions.
