No matter what people says, the transition of living first In some place with all your family to the next day living with all strangers away from your family is always a very difficult step to make because it is not only to change where you live; it is basically to change the way you live. First of all it the doubt in the person now living in the Care Home because he or she must be wondering why on earth they were moved to this place. They were just happy in their previous house. Why you family did it? Is it that they don’t care for me at all? Do they want me away from them, from my grandchildren? Have I did anything wrong to deserve this?
Of course they haven’t done anything wrong but sometimes families don’t have time for offering the elders a good quality of life. That does not mean they don’t care about their elders but in this society working and earning money seems to be more important than having quality time with your family. I’m not, in any moment, saying that is right to let your grandparents go to a Care Home because the care of them should be in the hands of their families, no matter how good the Care Home is or the benefits it gives. However I also understand the difficulties a family could have to care well of their elders so they have to take that difficult decision to take their elders to this places.
When they arrive to the Care Homes most of them don’t expect to stay there for long because they believe their relatives will miss them and would return them home in no time. As all we know in the majority of these cases is not true. Care Providers Hampshire know these very well so they have prepared professionals for making this complicated step something more easy to take and live with it. They consul the elders as much as the family with the aim of making both parts calm knowing first that their relatives have not forgot them and second that the elders in Care Homes are still family and relatives should visit them constantly at least the first months until the elder feel some kind of connection to the place and the other people who lives there. That is the only way they can assume what they are living and to accept the situation, Of course it is not a punishment, Care Providers Hampshire did not create this new systems to be felt like a punishment. They believe in treating well to elder people over everything inside these houses. They should be as comfortable as in Home and ever more if possible.
Care Providers Hampshire will surely give a set of psychologists and other prepared personnel to make this transition time not a bad memory but only a process where in some way both will win something new and probably they would appreciate the results in a not distant future.
