Smooth Transitions:

Considerations, preparedness + easier moves into long-term care facilities. Moving to a long-term care residence is a big transition. Family caregivers face many questions, and the decision can be painful and confusing. How do I first know when my loved one might need more support than living at home can provide? What are the options for a long-term care facility? How do I even approach this conversation with my loved one? What should we bring? How can we compare facilities? What are the costs? How do we prepare not only them but ourselves?
