Moving My DW to a Home

Is it a memory care facility? When I moved my DH in, the staff worked with me to come up with a plan. I went the day before and brought clothes and some familiar items to put in his room. As @Jgirl57 said, nothing of value. I just had some pictures and picture books that he always liked. The day of the move, I simply said that some friends invited us to lunch at a new place. When I brought him in, they were prepared to greet him and whisk him into the facility and eat with him in the dining room. They told me to quietly leave and not visit for a few days to let him get acclimated. If you could bring her there when they’re having a musical activity, that distraction would be great. It is very very hard, especially at first, but once you make the decision and get it done, you’ll realize you made the best decision for you both. Your caregiving now changes to being her advocate, making sure they’re caring for her properly. And you can become her husband again, visiting her, loving her, and doing things with her there, without the stress of day-to-day caregiving. Keep us posted on how it goes. Wishing you the best!
