Transitioning Into Assisted Living

Transitioning Into Assisted Living


Written by Greystone on January 4, 2018



Deciding when to move your aging parents or relatives out of their own homes and into an assisted living facility is never an easy decision. Giving up some independence can be uncomfortable — but it doesn’t mean giving up your quality of life. In fact, in many cases a move to an assisted living center means greater quality of life, safety and peace of mind.

Before making any decisions regarding moving your loved one out of their home, discuss all possible living arrangements with their doctor. You may consider hiring a personal care aide first to help your loved one learn to accept help while still in a familiar environment. Rather than make an abrupt change to their lives, gradually easing them into a new normal with an open mind can make it easier on everyone involved.

Use this time to research and tour nearby assisted living facilities. Determine what will be the most important aspect of the experience for your loved one. What will they need most to feel as comfortable, safe and happy as possible? If your loved one is mobile enough, have them join you to tour the facility. Pay close attention to the details you know matter most to you and your loved one. Is it clean? Do the residents seem content and engaged? What sort of activities do they offer? How does the staff interact with the residents? Do they offer physical therapy and rehabilitation? What are the medical facilities like? Be sure to include them in the decision as to which facility they will ultimately be moving to. Take home as much literature as you can, so you can have visual reminders of your visit to help stave off any last-minute jitters.

Once you’ve chosen the right place for your loved one, you can begin to prepare them for the transition. Include them in the packing process as much as they’re able to; it’s vital for them to see every positive aspect of this experience. Encourage them to bring as many personal items as they’d like to make their new room feel like home right away.

While you’re helping them make the transition, don’t forget that this is an adjustment for you as well. It’s normal to feel guilty about moving your aging parent into an assisted living center, but knowing that they’re getting the highest level of care should help put you at ease. Remain in touch with your loved one and visit often, but also be careful to give them their space and continued independence from you.

At Greystone Health, we pride ourselves on our compassionate care, from our in-home services to our award-winning health centers. Our staff is committed to our residents, and it is our pleasure to provide your loved one the highest level of personal care. If you are ready to make the decision, we are here to help guide you every step of the way.
