The entire process that began with a request for an appointment, which continued with the visits by the social worker and finally ended with the allocation of the place in the nursing home, finally reaches the last step: the day of admission. However, it is not at all uncommon for doubts to arise about what will be most necessary, or what is recommended, when preparing everything that is intended to be included in the suitcase and the toiletry bag that will accompany the person to the center in question.
It is important to do detailed planning, with patience, so that that person is as comfortable as possible from the first moment of their arrival. However, it should also be remembered that, in case of forgetting something, there is nothing to worry about, since a family member can bring forgotten or new objects once the people are already admitted to the residence. However, it is best to try to have everything prepared from the start.
The first thing one thinks of when packing a suitcase of any kind is what takes up the most space: clothes. For this, it will be necessary to prioritize those that provide comfort and well-being, in addition to those that are a basic, for example, underwear. It is necessary to go to the center with enough changes. Also, do not forget the pajamas, including a cool one, perfect for summer, and another that is warmer and more appropriate for the winter season.
As for the rest, it is recommended to wear t-shirts, blouses, shirts and sweaters, some clothes designed for summer and others for winter. As well as warm clothing, very practical at halftime, such as cardigans or cardigans. The same goes for pants, some will be light and cool for summer, while others will be thick for winter.
For shoes, it is recommended to bet on the basics: a pair of slippers to walk around the house, another pair that is comfortable and perfect for day-to-day life, and sporty, practical and comfortable ones for activities such as walks.
A relevant detail is that nursing homes usually recommend that each person come with their clothing labeled in some way, in order to keep it identified and to make it easy to find out who it belongs to.
Regarding the toiletry bag, the most essential products are: toothbrush and toothpaste, comb, deodorant, cologne. As well as others that can be a shaving machine, with its corresponding foam, glasses or dental prostheses. Each person will have a series of particularities and specific needs that it is important to keep in mind when packing.
