Get acquainted with the community

The staff is there to ensure your family is safe and comfortable, so ask questions regarding the facility, activities, and their personal needs.
Plan to visit

Planning to visit your loved one can help you keep in touch with them and maintain your relationship. It also allows you to stay in the loop on what is going on with them. Ask other family members to visit as well so that everyone in the family can be involved.
Surround them with personal belongings
