Dear HelpLine,
We have just made the difficult decision to move my mom into facility care not far from home. We are all new to this, what can we expect and what can we do to work with the facility to help them learn about FTD?
The transition to facility care is a significant change for all involved and we are glad you are reaching out for support. As your loved one’s advocate and an essential member of the care team, there are resources to help you support your loved one and navigate the new relationship with the facility staff. Care partners and families may also find they need additional support for their own experiences and emotions during this change through FTD support options.
The HelpLine team has developed a new resource guiding care partners with the many aspects of moving a loved one into a facility. This resource offers guidance for supporting the person’s initial transition to the facility, working with facility staff, approaching concerns and developing a person-centered plan of care.
