Start early, start small
The best conversations happen before a crisis. Begin with what your parent enjoys and what worries them, not with a brochure.
Listen for the real worry
Behind a no there is usually something specific: losing independence, the cost, being forgotten, leaving a house full of memories. Name it and talk about it.
Offer a trial
A visit for lunch, or a two week respite stay, lets a parent decide from experience rather than imagination.
Involve the whole family
Siblings abroad, the pastor or imam, an old friend. Decisions made together are kept together.
Let them lead
Wherever possible, the person moving should choose the home, the room and what comes with them.
Our family liaison team talks families through this every week. Call us, there is no charge.
