[quote=Anonymous]Hi, I'd be grateful for any tips from "BTDT" folks re the best way to acclimate an elderly parent to a new living situation. I am moving my mother from another city to be closer to me. She is currently in an independent living place which she dislikes and has outgrown, but she has been there for many years and knows all the people. She will be downsizing from a one bedroom apartment to a bedroom, so I'm planning to bring lots of wall decorations, pictures, pillows, but not much else will fit. Maybe a chair or desk. I'm sure the new community will make suggestions, but just thought I'd check with DCUM too. Right now my plan is to move her in, have lunch, and leave in mid-afternoon. Then I'm hoping to pop in at different times daily over next two weeks. Then I will be gone for a week - hopefully she will have adjusted a bit by then and have some "new friends" as the facility has lots of activities which they will take my mother to attend. Thanks!
