Moving your loved one is never easy, but there are some things you can do to make the transition smoother. First off, it is recommended that families do preliminary moving and arranging of the person’s furniture and possessions in the assisted living apartment. Make it look homey and have several items of importance and familiarity in the apartment on the move-in day. Items like:

• pillows
• afghan blankets
• quilts on the bed or and/or couch
• family photos on the wall or in a scrapbook
• a favorite chair

are some examples of things that can be helpful in trying to create a warm, familiar environment.

It can certainly be hard to tell a loved one that they will be moving into an assisted-living facility. It might disturb your loved one if you tell them in advance of the move, and often times they will forget this information quickly. One way to approach the situation, is that on the day of move-in, you make it a “special visit” to the assisted-living facility and refer to it as the new “senior apartment with wonderful services.” You do not need to call it an assisted-living facility with your loved one. Persons with dementia often have decreased insight into their own weaknesses, and they may feel they don’t need assistance, even though they do.
