Bringing up moving to someone is never easy. For example, breaking a move to your kids should be dealt with carefully and considerately. However, no moving conversation is more delicate than telling a loved one it’s time to move them into an assisted care facility.
For many people, there comes a time when a nursing home is the best option. It’s safer and more affordable than living at home alone. However, no one wants to move into a nursing home, and telling a loved one to do it requires some conversational skill.
There are two things to keep in mind when talking about nursing homes:
- Safety – Always make your loved one’s well being top priority
- Positivity – It’ll be a change, but stress the positives, like meeting new people.
Staying positive and stressing their safety should help you along. For more tips, check out our article on the subject.
