Living well in Portsmouth
Put people and familiar places in the plan
Make a short list of what you would miss if you moved: neighbors, a favorite lunch stop, your usual appointments and places you enjoy with family. Then compare how staying home with support or moving to a community would help you keep those connections.

Three small steps toward a better week
Choose one repeat activity
Pick something you already enjoy, call ahead and try it once. Ask how new participants are welcomed and whether you need to bring anything. A manageable regular outing can be more useful than a calendar packed with unfamiliar plans.
Tour for an ordinary Tuesday
Ask to see the places you would use every day. Compare meals, transport, privacy and chances to meet people. Write down what felt comfortable and what you would still need answered.
Make your preferences easy to share
Write a short list of the routines, people and places you want to keep in your life. Share it with someone you trust, and bring it to conversations about staying home or making a move.

Why explore senior living before memory problems begin?
An earlier decision gives you time to choose your surroundings, build friendships and understand future care—while your own preferences lead the way.
