One of the most common challenges residents face is adapting to a new environment. To help your loved one cope:
- Encourage open communication: Create a safe space for them to express their feelings. Validate their emotions without judgment.
- Maintain familiar routines: As much as possible, incorporate familiar habits into their new daily life. This can provide a sense of continuity.
- Involve them in decision-making: Allowing them to choose activities, meals, or room decor can empower them and make them feel more in control.
- Gradually introduce new people and activities: Overwhelming them with social interactions or unfamiliar experiences can be stressful. Progress at their pace.
