[quote=Anonymous]Remember there's a transition period--sometimes called "Transition trauma" when your parent/s get adjusted to the new normal. Especially for older people, the transition period is real. Gradually, they form friendships and new routines. My Dad led a poetry session (people brought a favorite poem--even caregivers got involved). Mom appreciated that she didn't have to do laundry, cook, or clean...And we kids realized they were SAFE if they fell or grew disoriented. There are trade-offs, of course, but I've already picked out my room when the time comes![/quote]
