When it is time for your older adult to make the transition it can always be a scary time.

Regardless of what factors led to that point, making the transition is something that both sides will need to adapt to.

It is however up to you to make this transition a smooth one for your older adult and understand the difficulties they may face with adapting to their new "normal"

Multiple studies have shown the effect moving into a care facility can have on an older adult and their mental health and the severity of this outcome is ultimately dictated by how you approach the situation together with them

At the end of the day, compassion is always going to be key.
