Emotional Support and Encouragement
Be a source of emotional support and reassurance during times of transition or adjustment. Encourage them to engage in hobbies and interests that bring them joy and fulfillment. Stay positive and optimistic, and provide encouragement for their physical and mental well-being.
Accessing Resources and Support Services
Explore support services offered by the assisted living home, such as medical care, therapy, and social activities. Stay informed about their health and well-being by attending care meetings and communicating with the staff. Seek support from community resources and senior care organizations for additional assistance and information.
