How to Help Your Aging Parent Move to an Assisted Living Community

April 5, 2021

It is a difficult thing to watch a parent age and become less independent than they once were. This is particularly true in situations where certain health complications are at play. You can find yourself feeling overwhelmed with everything going on and wondering exactly how to process so as to ensure the overall safety, health, and comfort of your parent.

That being said, when you are able to find the right living situation for you parent based on their current needs and capabilities, you can find yourself feeling much more at ease with everything. The right living situation can make all the difference. You might even notice your parent finding a great deal of happiness and contentment with the help and support they would receive from moving into an assisted living community.

If you have come to the conclusion that it is time for your parent to transition to an assisted living facility, it isn’t uncommon to experience some pushback. However, with plenty of patience and the facts of the situation on your side, you can help your aging parent to comfortable transition to an assisted living community.

Here are just a few ways to help your parent become more comfortable with such a big change and find peace of mind with the idea of moving to an assisted living community.

Choose the Right Community

One thing that will make your parent less comfortable with moving into an assisted living community is the idea of moving into the wrong one. Moving is always stressful, but moving into a home that you don’t actually like the look or feel of can be devastating. For this reason, you should take the time to do your research and find the right assisted living community for your parent.

Start by taking their lifestyle into consideration. Is your parent a particularly social and active individual? According to Brightview Senior Living, one aspect that can make an assisted living community more enjoyable and comfortable for residents is opportunities for socializing with and getting to know other community members. Residences that offer organized events and opportunities to get together can be a great choice for those seniors who want to feel like they are part of a community.

Consider Their Input

When you are undertaking the task of moving your aging parent into an assisted living community, it can be tempting to simply take the reins and handle all of the decisions on your own. However, this can make your parent less likely to be able to accept the situation as they can feel forced into the change.

It is important to consider their input and opinion on the matter as well. Take them on tours of different communities and encourage them to ask questions and learn as much about their potential new home as possible. This will help them to feel more involved in the process and at peace with the change in general.
