Moving into Residential Care by Colleen Doyle
Written for people making the move in to a care home, or the families and staff about to assist them, this book is an antidote to the psychological stress this transition can have on older people. It provides essential tips to guide people along the way from deciding to move to settling in to their new surroundings.
A move to residential care is a major life transition, often occurring when people are already facing other challenges, such as illness or bereavementFor those contemplating such a move and their loved ones, Moving into Residential Care is an excellent resource for understanding both the practicalities and the psychosocial supports needed to help each person navigate the process. -- Allen Power, MD, Schlegel Chair in Aging and Dementia Innovation, Schlegel U.
