Do You Think It Would Be Hard For My Mom To Switch Bedrooms?
I've lived with my Mom for a year and a half in a detached studio. It is time for me to move into the house. I would like to shift bedrooms for practicality reasons. Moving her to a smaller bedroom attached to her old bedroom where I would be moving in to. She doesn't think this is her house, always wanting to go home. Do you think it would make things harder for her? Her belongings would all be in the other room with her.
As long as she has the same bed and familiar things around her, she may be fine.
She does not get up often, and our rooms will be attached. I was also thinking of adding multiple family pictures on the wall. Surrounding her with additional memories.
New paint and bedding to make it more exciting for her.
Thank you for your thoughts.
THe newness sounds good!. She won't remember the house, so you take the larger room. But be aware she may walk in sometimes thinking its her room when she remembers it. Asto new bedding, I'd keep the old stuff. That she will remember, and the comfort of having it may help give comfort and help her to sleep and less adgitated. The family pictures will be a wonderful plus too. Best of luck-Sharon
Does she get up often to go to the restroom. That might be something for her to get used to. Also everything should be set up exactly the way it was in the old room and maybe adding a little sofa where you could stay for a few nights to get her used to it in case she has a problem. It's really something you are going to tweak a little at a time.
