It is natural to want everything to feel right when you are choosing a home for someone you love.
Begin with the everyday experiences that will make a move feel right, rather than trying to compare every feature at once.
A practical way to begin
A wish such as having breakfast later tells a different story from a need for help with every transfer. Keep both on your list, but ask different questions about how each would be supported.
Your discussion checklist
- Write down three things the person wants to keep doing
- Separate essential support needs from preferences about surroundings
- Ask which needs require an assessment before an answer can be given
- Record any choice the person would find difficult to accept
Before you take the next step
Take your priorities to a first conversation and ask the home to explain any limits. Review the list with the person afterwards: their first reaction matters as much as your notes.
