Facts About Moving to an Assisted Living Home

One of the most difficult decisions you’ll ever have to make in your life is whether or not to place your aging parent in an Assisted Living Facility. For one of the following reasons, you may feel bad about relocating a parent or spouse into an assisted living facility.

As a provider of Home Care in Minnesota, we will explain why the following beliefs are false and why the situation has rendered your decision inescapable:

Common belief: You’ve failed in your duty to care for them.

Reality: That’s not true. You’re not a failure for putting their health and safety first. Giving them the degree of care they need is a difficult decision that may not be doable at home in the long run.

Common belief: You’re not a good caregiver as you should be.

Reality: You’re trying your best and that is enough. Comparison is useless. In some cases, if your health is being harmed or if someone else is at risk of harm, then it’s time to relocate.

Common belief: If you haven’t made the move, their health wouldn’t have deteriorated.

Reality: That’s not the case. If you haven’t decided to relocate them to a Group Home, things could have been much worse. Since the degree of care they need could no longer be provided at home, you were forced to make this difficult decision to place them in a facility.
