Moving a parent with dementia into memory care can be a challenging and overwhelming decision. However, there are ways to make the transition smoother for everyone involved. Some signs that it may be time to consider memory care include difficulty with daily activities, wandering off, and the care needs becoming too much to handle at home. It's important to remember that the move itself may not be as traumatic for the parent as it is for the family. Memory care facilities are designed to provide the necessary support and care for people with dementia. Preparation, focusing on familiar items, staying calm on moving day, being flexible during the adjustment period, and taking care of oneself are key tips for a successful transition.
