Tips for Transitioning a Loved One into a Care Home

Moving a loved one into a care home is an emotional and sometimes challenging experience. However, there are several steps you can take to make the transition smoother for both you and your loved one. The key is preparation and open communication.

Start by involving your loved one in discussions about their care options. Give them as much input as possible, from choosing the care home to selecting their new room setup. This involvement helps them feel more in control and less anxious about the move. It’s also a good idea to visit the home together before moving in to familiarize them with the environment and meet the staff.


Bring personal items that can make the new space feel more like home. Things like favorite bedding, photos, and keepsakes add a personal touch that can provide comfort during the adjustment period. Remember, the transition takes time, and it’s normal for your loved one to experience a range of emotions. Keep lines of communication open with the care home staff and check in regularly to ensure your loved one is settling in comfortably.


At Bromson Hill Nursing Home, the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition. They encourage pre-admission visits, offer plenty of emotional support, and help residents personalize their rooms to feel more at home.
