Dedication

Dedicated to those navigating the challenging journey of transitioning to assisted living or nursing homes, this book is dedicated to you. Just as we faced the uncertainties of college, stepping into a new phase of life requires strength, resilience, and a supportive community.

In the stories shared within these pages, I recognize the profound adjustments you are making in your final years. It's not an easy path, and many aspects of life are changing. From diminished mobility to the emotional toll of leaving cherished homes, you are navigating challenges with courage.

As a home health nurse, I've witnessed the struggles and triumphs of individuals like Agnes, who bravely shared her experiences. This book aims to offer guidance and support to families and individuals facing the difficult decision of assisted living or nursing home care.

To the families grappling with guilt and the individuals feeling a sense of abandonment, remember that you are making the best choice for your loved ones. This dedication serves as a reminder to focus on the love, care, and connection you provide, rather than dwelling on temporary feelings of guilt.

May the practical tips shared here assist you in ensuring the best possible care for your loved ones. From daily visits to personalized touches in their living spaces, your involvement makes a significant difference.

In the face of grief and the stages that accompany it, be kind and supportive to yourself and your loved ones. Life is a journey, and adjusting to change takes time. The experiences shared here are meant to guide you through this transition, providing insights, advice, and a reminder that you are not alone.

Wishing you strength, love, and the ability to find acceptance in the midst of life's challenges.
