These tips can help ease the transition: Talk about what they will see and hear – preparing grandchildren for what they will expect upon entering an assisted living community is a great start. Show them pictures and explain that the grandparents don’t live their alone; there are many other people there, too. Because of this, they will have to be respectful, quiet, and polite, and not run around. If the grandparents suffer fr...
