Understanding Skilled Nursing Moves
Moving a loved one to skilled nursing care differs significantly from a typical residential move. These transitions often occur during emotionally challenging times and require sensitivity, patience, and coordination with multiple parties.
Types of Skilled Nursing Transitions
From Home to Long-Term Care: When aging in place is no longer safe or feasible, families often need to downsize decades of belongings while selecting meaningful items for a smaller room.
Hospital to Rehabilitation: Post-surgery or post-illness recovery may require quick coordination to bring personal items and comfort belongings to the facility.
Rehabilitation to Long-Term Care: Some short-term rehab stays transition to permanent residency, requiring additional items from home.
Facility to Facility: Transfers between care settings may require moving accumulated belongings.
What Can Be Moved to Parkhouse
Skilled nursing rooms are typically smaller than home spaces. Contact Parkhouse staff for specific room dimensions and guidelines.

- Personal Furniture: Comfortable chair, small dresser, bedside table
- Bedding and Linens: Personal pillows, favorite blankets
