Moving to a new place can be very unsettling for anyone but is particularity unsettling for people with memory loss. Signs of a great residence include well designed living spaces that feel homey and inviting where the decorations, lighting and outdoor landscaping are welcoming and consistent to reduce decision fatigue. Look for a care plan that provides amenities and activities that are tailored to individual need and cognitive ability. Residents should be encouraged to decorate their rooms with familiar furnishings to remind them they are home, they are unique, and they are still the person they’ve always been.
