Once you\u2019ve decided it\u2019s time and you\u2019ve\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bethesdahealth.org\/blog\/2022\/05\/04\/how-assisted-living-provides-support-while-preserving-independence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chosen the right community<\/a>\u00a0to meet your loved one\u2019s needs, however, you\u2019re ready to move forward.<\/p>\n<p>Some ways to help the transition to assisted living go more smoothly include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deciding what to bring in advance<\/li>\n<li>Moving belongings into their new home a couple days early<\/li>\n<li>Encouraging social interaction<\/li>\n<li>Helping your loved one have a positive emotional transition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>1. DECIDING WHAT TO BRING<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bethesdahealth.org\/blog\/2022\/08\/19\/downsizing-to-a-senior-living-community\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">start the packing process<\/a> well before the move-in date. Find out which personal items are most important to your loved one, but avoid bringing too many of the same item, such as coats. Also keep in mind that unlike the smaller items (clothes, keepsakes, photographs), larger items like furniture will require some planning when moving to assisted living. Ask the assisted living community what furniture, if any, will be provided.<\/p>\n<p>Some families choose to furnish apartments with brand new furniture. However, be sure to bring some familiar items too. This will help your loved one feel more comfortable and establish that feeling of being \u201cat home\u201d in their new apartment.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. MOVING BELONGINGS EARLY<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Find out if it\u2019s possible to move your loved one\u2019s possessions a day or two prior to the actual move-in date. This will give you the opportunity to set up their apartment by unpacking, assembling furniture and running errands. As a result, you can spend their first actual day at the community focused on helping them adjust to their new home.<\/p>\n<p>Assistance may be available from the community to help you with the move-in process. Ask for a floor plan to get an idea of how the apartment should be organized and arranged\u2014this will make setup easier and faster for you, and help your loved one adjust more quickly.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. ENCOURAGING SOCIAL INTERACTION<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A great way to help your senior loved one acclimate is by getting them engaged in the activities offered at the \u00a0assisted living community that appeal to them. Focus on the opportunities they will have to make new friends and participate in events. Ask for an activities calendar and find the events that they will enjoy most. Also, help them meet new neighbors by joining your loved one for their first meal in the dining room.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. HELPING MAKE THE EMOTIONAL TRANSITION A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Moving is an emotional experience for all of us\u2014but even more so for an older adult. Moving to assisted living can feel overwhelming and daunting, but it can also be an exciting change that should be embraced. Both of you may experience many different emotions throughout the process, but these feelings are normally temporary as everyone works on adjusting to this next phase of life. It\u2019s important to recognize these feelings and find ways to embrace the move.<\/p>\n<p>Let your loved one know that you understand moving to assisted living and navigating the transition may be hard for them, and that you are here to talk and listen. Be respectful, but be upbeat! Positive reinforcement will help your loved one focus on the benefits they will gain from moving to assisted living.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bethesdahealth.org\/living-options\/assisted-living\/\">Start your transition to assisted living by booking a tour at a Bethesda Assisted Living community today.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The decision to move an aging parent into a\u00a0St. Louis assisted living community\u00a0can be difficult for the entire family.
