,

CUSTOMISE THEIR ROOM AND MAKE IT HOMELY.

,

Place familiar objects around your loved one’s room,such as photographs,ornaments or a favourite chair. This will make their room feel more like home and help them settle in much quicker.

,

PACK THE RIGHT OUTFITS AND TOILETRIES.

,

Try and pack your loved one ample clothes and toiletries for at least 2 weeks. Keep in mind to put a name tag on each piece of clothing so that they don’t get mingled up with the washing of other individuals’ in the laundry room. Try to pack toiletries that your loved one normally uses at home as the familiar smells will help your family member in the settling in process.

,

OFFER THE TEAM LOTS OF INFORMATION.

,

The staff at the care home want to help make your relative’s relocation into the care home as positive as possible. So,before your loved one moves in,give the care home workers some relevant information about your loved one’s life so they can use this to build a connection with their new resident as quickly as possible. This will also help the resident feel more at home if they are able to have chats with the staff about special occasions in their life.This information could be in the form of highlights about your loved one,or a short story about them as well as photographs of them with family members. Things to include could be: Where did they grow up? When and where did they get married? How many children and grandchildren do they have? What was their occupation?

,

SPEND TIME AT THE PROPERTY BEFORE THEY MOVE IN.

,

Care home staff usually say that residents settle in a lot quicker and loved ones feel more reassured if they spend some time at the care home before moving in. This can motivate your relative to get to know staff members and other people and get to know the day-to-day schedules before they move in. This prevents the change from being too much of a shock to the system.

,

BE THERE FOR THEM THE MOMENT THEY MAKE THE MOVE.

,

On the day of the move give yourself adequate time to do no matter what comes up and be readied to remain for the day. Attempt to finish all forms and vital jobs ahead of time so that your time can be spent making your loved one feel as relaxed as feasible and making their room feel like home.You’re very likely to experience a mix of emotions on this day – relief that your loved one is going to be getting the care they need,sadness that they are leaving behind their home,worry about whether they will settle in okay. All of these emotions are perfectly normal and easy to understand,but try and be as positive as possible to reassure your family member and help them to feel positive too.
