Making the Switch to Assisted Living Easier

After you select a senior living community, a staff member will evaluate your loved one based upon all of the information provided. With the help of this evaluation, the community will be informed about the medical needs and history of your loved one, and expectations and costs will be evident to all. The nursing team will work with you during your evaluation period to obtain prescriptions and medical documents transferred to the community, so there is no care gap during the move.

A date for your move-in will be given to you following the assessment. As you and your loved one strive to box up items to move, donate, and sell, the period leading up to the move is sure to be stressful. Take advantage of the opportunity to remind yourself and your loved one of the advantages of the new assisted living facility. To help your loved one make new acquaintances, now is a perfect opportunity to reserve another dinner in the community.

Finally, on the day of move-in, expect a flurry of activity. The employees will stop by to say hello as they help you and your loved one move in the furniture and boxes. Without a doubt, you'll also run across a few nosy neighbors who stop by to wish your loved one luck in their new residence. Pick up the most recent issue of the neighborhood bulletin and activity schedule so you can select a few fun events for your loved one to visit during their first week in their new home.

Your loved one will feel at home in their new assisted living apartment sooner than you might anticipate. You'll adore learning about delicious cuisine, exciting people, and entertaining activities. The fact that your loved one is secure, healthy, and well-looked-after in their new assisted living residence is what matters most.
