Tips for Transitioning a Loved One into a Care Home

Updated: Nov 28, 2024

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. Their compassionate team understands the challenges of the move and works to create a welcoming, comfortable environment from day one.

Our Fees: Information and Support

Here at Bromson Hill we understand the difficulties of searching for a care home that fits for you. Finances can be one important aspect in finding a perfect care home. We put our residents needs first in terms of supporting and giving guidance in this area, whether it's you searching for a care home or you are searching for a loved one. We have provided the information to see if you are entitled for funding from your local authority below. In our FAQ, we also address questions you may have concerning this subject. If you have any more questions, please contact us via email or phone call at the address provided below. We would love to answer any questions and find ways to support you if Bromson Hill is the right fit for you! 

 

Our fee rate starts from £1150 per room. In the event you are wholly or partially funded by social workers, please email or call the Home for more information. The Home retains the Funded Nursing Care to pay for our nursing costs and this is made clear in our contracts.


We aim to keep our charges in line with other similar homes. Depending upon your ability to pay, your local authority may pay some of the costs towards your care. Your local authority will assess your income including your pension and benefits as well as any savings you may have and possibly your home if nobody else lives with you. The value of your home will not be counted towards this until 12 weeks after your admission to permanent nursing or residential care.
You may also be entitled to other benefits, which include Attendance Allowance and Pension Credit. For more information, please contact the Benefit Enquiry Line on 0800 88 22 00 or speak to your GP, nurse or indeed feel free to call us for more information.
