I am a Director of Nursing at an assisted living facility in Carrollton, Ohio. This is hands down the best video I’ve seen on transitioning a dementia patient into a facility. I plan to share with families that are in the planning phase. You are spot on! Thanks for taking the time to post this video.
Thank you for this video as it was the information I was looking for. We may have to place my mother in a home nearby and have found a couple we are considering. As my mom can be verbally abusive (four letter words and accusing people of whatever), I know this is going to be very trying (i.e. similar to post-partum depression?). She does have aides she likes and your suggestions are very reassuring. Please keep them coming as I'll need them!
I'm sorry that you are going through this - dementia is such a difficult disease. When and if you move your mom, the facility may also have some tips and resources to help with the transition. Good luck with your decision, stay strong!
@SeniorSafetyAdvice Thank you! I have heard of some white lies that may help us when the day comes; a study taking place and Dr has offices here. She still has enough of her mind to see that it's assistant living so how do we get around the markers on the facility? She does have aides that look in on her.

As a Geriatric Care Manager with 13years experience, I enjoyed your video and think you are spot on with your recommendations.
That's great to hear, thanks for watching!

This is a good video, your kids will find this video helpful when they put you in a care facility.
If you had dementia and needed to go into a care facility, hopefully it would be an easier transition if your kids knew these tips. :)
