No family members for the first 2 to 3 weeks? What is the basis for that rationale? Having had both my mother and mother-in-law in a nursing home, they are already frightened about the change. They are surrounded by strangers. I would think having family members around would help with easing them into a whole new way of life. That’s just based on my observations.
