Tips For Moving In

Bring a few home comforts – your favourite photos, some music and books, maybe a special cushion or blanket. Decide which personal items you would like to bring ahead of time.

 

Bring your toiletries and clothes you need, about 2 weeks worth is usually right. 

Ask us about anything specific or larger that you would like to bring.

​

Find your way around to get your bearings, ask for help so you feel confident or walk around with a friend or relative.

​

Staff are here to help you – tell them what you like to do and when.  They will be able to help with when and where you like your meals, what activities you enjoy etc.

 

We have a relatives newsletter and post updates on our website.  Keep relatives involved by encouraging them to come to events at Fairlight, join our email newsletter or visit our website.

​​​

Give yourself time to adjust and settle in.  Take it at your own pace and get to know the residents and staff.
