When preparing for the move to the facility, make sure that you ask your elder which clothes she prefers to bring with her. It is unlikely that her entire wardrobe can be accommodated. Once you determine her preferences, check with the facility to see if there are any restrictions. You can bring special clothing items, but you will have to care for them yourself. The American Health Care Association suggests that the best way to mark his clothes is with sewn-in labels, especially if the clothes are dark.
Markings can wash out with repeated launderings.
Check all clothing periodically to see if the name tag is still legible, and be sure to get all clothing marked before it comes into the home. In order to assist you in determining your elder's clothing needs, ElderCare Online recommends that you bring the following wardrobe. Please consult with your facility before finalizing this list.
