I am interested in any tips for moving my 95 year old Father into my home. He is very independent, but after a recent hospitalization for pneumonia, his physician thinks it may be best for him to not continue to live independently in his home. My sisters and I have been taking turns staying with him, and looked at Assisted Living facilities but he has told us that he would much prefer to live with us than in a facility, and we are in agreement! I am a nurse, so care giving is a rewarding thing for me and I am looking forward to having him in our home.
My biggest concern is how to make this transition easier for him. We plan to bring as many of his personal things with us as possible to make him feel at home, but know that there will likely be stress for him over leaving his home of 58 years. (He has live there by himself since my mother passed away in 2012).
ANY transitioning tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
