Packing Essentials When Transitioning to Winter Park Memory Care

If you are helping to transition a loved one to an assisted living facility in Orlando, or a memory care center, one of the most common questions you may have is what types of items should you pack up and bring for your loved one. Some of that depends on the facility itself. Some facilities are furnished, while others require you to supply beds or dressers. Always talk to the facility to find out what is included in a room. Here are a few of the items that you will likely need to bring, regardless of whether the facility offers furnished or unfurnished rooms. 

Bring Storage Saving Tools 

When you are transitioning your loved one to Winter Park, Florida assisted living, you will want to find devices that can help them save space in their room. This may include shelving, closet space-saving tools, or drawer organizers. Your loved one may have a lot of items they want to bring, and may not have a lot of space, so space-saving devices come in handy. 

Comfortable Clothing is a Must

Another item to pack when moving your loved one to assisted living in Winter Park, Florida is comfortable clothing and bedding. Now is the perfect time to go through your loved one’s closet and take a look at their clothing. They are no longer going to need formal wear or office attire. Instead, they will need comfortable clothing, pajamas, and comfortable bedding. If it has been a while since your loved one went shopping, now may be the perfect time to upgrade their wardrobe for their new life. 

Always Pack Special Items and Mementos

Lastly, as you transition your loved one to Winter Park, Florida assisted living, bring special items and mementos. This may include family photographs, knick-knacks with sentimental meaning, or other items that remind your loved one of their family or of their favorite things. Having familiar items that have sentimental value can help your loved ones settle in and feel more comfortable in their new surroundings.
