A move to residential care is a major life transition, often occurring when people are already facing other challenges, such as illness or bereavement. For those contemplating such a move and their loved ones, Moving into Residential Care is an excellent resource for understanding both the practicalities and the psychosocial supports needed to help each person navigate the process. -- Allen Power, MD, Schlegel Chair in Aging and Dementia Innovation, Schlegel U.
