Helping your family member move to new surroundings:
- Equip their room with meaningful personal effects from the time they arrive. Even if the patient is unresponsive, their belongings will make them feel at home.
- Be prepared for your loved one to be angry and for possible feelings of guilt on your part. Promises made earlier, before there were any other choices, need to be ignored. Remember you are moving them "because you love them"!
- The period of anger usually passes after a few weeks. Generally it will help if you are not avoiding the topic of going home by saying "If you get well enough". Social Services and Nursing will assist you and your family member in adjusting to the changes.
- Be gentle to yourself. If others in the family disagree with your choices, do the best you can to get feedback from the physician, nurses and social worker. Listen to feedback from family and professionals but make your own choice.
- Ask questions of the facility staff and keep informed of your family members plan of care.
- Discuss with the staff who the contact person will be and any advanced directives.
- Visit when possible or telephone to speak to your loved one as desired. Also, e-mail - it's uplifting and exciting for a resident to tap into new technology.
