We spent a day with Tucson, Arizona artist Barbara Rogers – at her apartment in Atria Bell Court Gardens, at her art studio in downtown Tucson, at Tohono Chul botanical gardens and galleries, and as she joined friends for dinner back at her senior living community.

"For an artist," Barbara says, "you want a triangle: where you work for money, where you work on your art, and where you live. The smaller you can get that triangle, the more time you can devote to what really matters to you."

For Barbara, what matters is making art inspired by the natural world – and sharing it with curious people. "I try to make paintings for people that are really smart and easily bored. People who want to keep discovering things in the work." 

Surrounded by a community of friends, Barbara has discovered ease and connection. "I never could have imagined that I would end up loving this many old people. I know that sounds crazy. It's like, Barbara, wake up, you're old. But to me, I'm just on a continuum. I'm still painting, I run around town, I meet people for dinner. It's the most carefree that I've ever been in 87 years."

For families who want to experience the senior living lifestyle – or for older adults who may be on the fence with their decision to move – Vicki discusses how short-term stays can be an ideal option.

Vicki also discusses her personal experience with a family member transitioning to community living. Her mother is in the process of moving to assisted senior living, so Vicki shares what the process has been like and tips for talking with siblings.

Advice for Transitioning to Senior Living: Benefits and What to Expect

Jason Shott, Regional Vice President at Atria Senior Living, shares the different paths his parents took as they aged – and the profound impact it had on their health and happiness. 

"When my dad moved into my senior living community, he came alive," Jason says. "The things he'd done when he was younger, he was doing again." 
 
Jason's mom, on the other hand, had refused care and mismanaged her medications, resulting in a stroke. Jason explains, "She went into a nursing home, where she contracted an infection and passed away. Senior living was a game changer for my dad; I wish it had been for my mom." 

Watch for answers to these critical questions about long-term care planning: 

1. Why is long-term care planning important? 

2. When should you start the conversation about long-term care? 

3. What would Jason do differently with the knowledge he has now? 

4. What should you look for in a senior living community? 

Jason emphasizes the importance of choosing a senior living community that offers not just quality care, but also an environment that enhances residents' quality of life with its culinary program, events and staff.
