Transitioning to a new stage of life can bring out many different emotions, from excitement to uncertainty. Knowing what your next steps are before moving to a close-knit community and assisted living lifestyle can help put your mind at ease.
Let’s explore the process.
Exploring Assisted Living
Assisted living is a lifestyle option that allows your loved one to live life on their own terms while removing some of the difficult aspects of daily living. This lifestyle blends assistance and independence, with the main focus being your loved one’s support, safety, and stability.

An assisted living lifestyle helps your loved one maintain a level of independence while also giving them more time to focus on new hobbies and expanding their social circle within the community.
Moving In: A Complete Checklist to Bethany Village Assisted Living
If your loved one’s moving date is soon approaching, you may be wondering what you can do to help them transition to their new community. The transition to assisted living involves some patience and an adjustment period.
Knowing what to bring when moving to a new environment can sometimes feel overwhelming. Let’s look at some things you can do to help your loved one and what they should bring with them.
Plan for Healthcare Needs
Before a move, it’s a good idea to contact your primary care physician and take your loved one in for a visit. Any updated prescriptions or medical equipment can be taken care of, and you’ll be able to begin packing in the right mindset.
Get Packing Done Early
Packing early can allow you and your loved one to find sentimental and important items they may want to bring with them to their new home. These items can help make your loved one feel even more at home during the transition period.
Early packing can also help your loved one relax and come to terms with the move while keeping track of what they want to bring to their new home.
Adjust Mail Services & Contact Details
Moving to a new community can be challenging for your loved one, so helping them adjust their mail delivery and contact details can help make the process easier.
In addition, it’s also a good idea to communicate with the staff in their new community to streamline the process and get all the correct information you need for your loved one.
Consistent Contact with Your Loved One’s New Community
Bethany Village wants to make this transition as stress-free as possible for your family.
You’ll be able to double-check that all your loved one’s medication and dietary needs will be met and their new apartment will be ready for them. Consistent contact will also help ensure you understand all the move in details, and that all paperwork has been signed and received.
Help Your Loved One Design Their New Space
Finally, designing your own space with personal items is always a special moment. Helping your loved one put together their new apartment with important items they brought can help make them feel more at home.
