Preparing Residents for Moving Out of Assisted Living Residences

image

Preparing and supporting residents when they move out reduces their stress and anxiety. Assisted living community staff can help relieve the stress inherent in any move—and particularly for frail residents—by following a clear set of policies and procedures created by the community. This guide will explain the strategies involved in successfully transitioning a resident move-out during non-medical, non-emergency situations. This guide assumes that the assisted living community has exhausted the coordination of outside consultant care allowed under state regulations. While this document provides guidance, its content is not to be considered “standards of care.”

Additional contents:

  • In-Service Training - Preparing Residents for Moving Out: This PowerPoint can be used to train staff on move-out criteria at employee orientations, periodic in-services, and/or staff meetings.
