Your Checklist for moving to a nursing home
If relatives are unsure, a checklist for visiting a care home is highly recommended. Such lists are available on the Internet, and can sometimes be obtained directly from the care home. This way, the tasks that have already been done can be completed one by one. Then relatives automatically know which tasks still need to be done. Therefore nothing is forgotten. It is also very important to give enough time for relatives to feel comfortable and settle down. People who need care take a little longer to do so, and sometimes react sadly or unhappily. Incidentally, this also often happens to people suffering from dementia if they are unable to remember things properly. Good communication is also important here. These should also be done in advance. This means that some preliminary measures are taken so that the person is not surprised. A safe and secure environment is important for older people. Sometimes there are no other options, so assisted living in a barrier-free apartment or care home is essential.
