I recently attended a lecture at a local nursing home for a nursing school related activity. The lady spoke with such a passion for the elderly and really caught my attention. I had never thought about how much a person has to give up when they move into a nursing home.

Just think about this…how does one consolidate a houseful of memories into one small bedroom? Simple things like their own towels and favorite dishes that are replaced with institutionalized household items . A lifetime of family photographs but can only bring just a few. The menu will be announced weekly, so no longer will the person have the choice of what they “feel like” eating. They often have to share a room with a complete stranger. Their closet space might be smaller than what they had at home, so they can only bring a tiny fraction of their wardrobe.

The list goes on and on of adjustments one has to make upon entering a nursing home. The way the lady spoke about all of these changes had me in tears. I had never thought about it quite like that before..

I really believe aging adults will thrive better in their own homes. Being in a familiar place with all of the comforts of home and surrounded by a lifetime of memories. Sometimes, they just may need a little extra help with bathing, meal preparation, or just to have someone check in on them a few times a week. That’s where I come in. Please give me a call to see how I can be of assistance.

Home is where the heart is.
