Years have passed since they were admitted to a nursing home or welfare facility for the disabled,
"Is the current facility good enough?" "Isn't there a more suitable facility?"
You may be wondering why this is the case.
The situation is constantly changing, including changes in the mental and physical condition of the individual and the lifestyle of the family.
This time,When to consider changing facilities and how to ensure a smooth transition.The following is an introduction to the
Key times to consider a change of facility
1. when there is a change in the person's condition
The amount of assistance and medical care that was fine at the time of admission may become insufficient due to decline in physical or cognitive function.
On the other hand, there are cases where the condition improves as a result of rehabilitation and other factors, and a more flexible facility may be a better fit.
Example:
- Medical treatment is required → Go to a medical facility
- Want to expand daytime activities → Go to a facility with full day services
- Dementia has progressed → Go to a facility for dementia
2. when you are concerned about the quality of service or policy
If you have questions about the staff's response or the facility's management policies, take the opportunity to discuss them with them.
If this does not alleviate your concerns, another option is to consider switching to another facility.
3. when the location of the facility is inconvenient
Many have expressed a desire to change to a location that is easier for family members to visit and to accommodate sudden visits to the hospital.
Geographic review of lifestyle is also an important perspective.
Note on facility changes
1. gather information on the new location as early as possible
Visit several potential relocation facilities and carefully check their services, atmosphere, and costs. Availability and conditions of acceptance should also be confirmed.
2. consult with a care manager or consultation support specialist
Before leaving your current facility, first consult with a community comprehensive support center or a consultation support office for persons with disabilities. They can help you sort out the necessary support details and options from a professional perspective.
3. beware of "breaks" in the transition
Long-term care insurance services and welfare services for persons with disabilities can take time to transition due to the "planning" and "certification" procedures required. Prior coordination is the key to a smooth transition.
