The Alliance for Senior Housing

When Do I Know That It’s Time to Consider Moving My Loved One?

About Yourself

1. Am I continuously exhausted?

2. Is my health becoming a factor in
being able to care for my loved one?

3. Am I becoming angry, resentful or
burned out?

4. When is the last time I did
something fun or restful for myself?

5. How is the situation affecting my
family and/or career?

Know that your loved one will never make this decision on their own.

About Your Loved One

1. Are short-term memory issues leading to
medication errors, missed meals, poor
nutrition or safety hazards in the home?

2. Are they lonely or in need of more
stimulation, socialization or exercise?

3. Do days and nights get turned around?

4. Are they wandering?

5. Do they need more physical assistance
than family members can give for
activities of daily living?

About Others

1. What other people are affected by
your loved one’s situation?

2. Is the health and/or safety of the
loved one’s spouse being
jeopardized by postponing a move?

3. Could your loved one put others in
danger for instance when driving?
