Transitioning Care
Making the decision to move a loved one with dementia into a supervised care environment may be one of the most difficult choices that families face. Despite best efforts, there may come a point when a loved one's needs exhaust the family caregiver's abilities to provide care. Out-of-home placement may offer a safer environment and promote comfort by establishing consistent and predictable schedules.
“Moving Your Loved One From Home: A Guide to Making the Transition” is a booklet that covers warning signs, options for care, how to choose an appropriate setting and making the move. To request a copy, click here.
Hospice of the Valley's Senior Placement Service also helps families find appropriate care for their loved ones at no cost to the family or to the companies or facilities to which referrals are made. The service is for all seniors, regardless of whether they are Hospice of the Valley patients. For more information, call 602.776.6800 or email: placement@hov.org.
