Leaving home can be a complicated and challenging process, but there are several ways to make it simpler for you or your loved one.
When you and your loved one have identified a prospective community, visit it for a tour. This is the best way to see with your own eyes any issues with safety, cleanliness or comfort that you might not otherwise detect. Ask about staff accreditation, accessibility, the range of food provided and diets supported, activity schedules and medicine management policies. A quality community should be able to answer any questions you have promptly and transparently.
Get a multi-part evaluation from your doctor and the prospective community's staff. This gives a clear picture of medical history and dietary needs, past or current prescriptions and treatments, and their ability to carry out ADLs.
Start planning the move as early as you can. It's best if you can start the process at least a month in advance. It's easier to get all the details taken care of when you're not rushing.
Take it in stages to make decisions about what to take and what to leave. Get support from family and friends as you or your loved one work out how best to downsize life in a new setting. Saying farewell to a familiar home can be an emotional process, but if you've started early, you'll be able to break down this process into smaller, more manageable steps.
Ask for the help you need. If you or your loved one need physical support in making the move, don't hesitate to ask for it. You can also get help from a senior move manager, a company that specializes in supporting just this kind of move with minimum stress.
