When is the right time to start talking to my parents about moving to a residential care facility?
Don’t wait for a crisis to approach your parents about a move. As difficult as it may be, you need to find out what your parents want, and the conversation is easier if there is no dire issue at hand. Are privacy, activities, proximity to family and/or cost of primary importance to them? You may find a “window of opportunity” by bringing up a friend/relative’s move to a residential facility. Contact one of our eldercare specialists for support and materials that can aid in this sensitive discussion.
