How to Stay Involved After Moving a Parent to Assisted Living

assisted living Ann Arbor

One of the biggest fears when moving your parent to assisted living is that they’ll feel abandoned. However, there are many ways to stay connected and involved in their lives to ensure they continue to feel supported and loved.

Maintain Strong Involvement

Visit regularly, call often, and participate in community events. Assisted living facilities in Ann Arbor and beyond offer numerous opportunities for family engagement, including scheduled visit days, holiday gatherings, and community activities. Your presence can make a world of difference in your parent’s emotional well-being.

 

Reframe the Situation

Instead of viewing the move as a loss, consider it a step toward an improved quality of life for your loved one. Assisted living communities provide a safe and engaging environment where seniors can thrive. With access to social activities, professional caregivers, and personalized support, your parent may experience a better standard of living than they would at home alone.

 

Seek Support

You’re not alone in this journey. Consider joining a support group, speaking with a counselor, or reaching out to friends who have been through the same experience. Talking about your emotions can help ease feelings of guilt and uncertainty.
