I finally found an assisted living facility for my parents and they moved in a week ago. They were so excited at first because they will be together. The best part is, there are other senior couples there as well so they have lots of activities for couples. However, my dad is having a hard time adjusting to the life in the assisted living facility, though my mom is starting to like it. My dad is trying to adjust to the different lifestyle like having people around all the time. He complains that he does not have the privacy he used to have. While my mom is enjoying all the activities like dancing, games and outdoor outings. What can I do to help my dad?

Any suggestions on how I should handle this? My mom likes it there but my dad is starting to complain about the assisted living facility.

Sorry to hear that your dad has not adjusted well in the assisted living facility. I know it can be tough at first for seniors because of the change. Have you asked him if he\'s willing to give it a few more weeks and see if he\'ll be able to adjust? As for your mom, its good that she likes the assisted living facility. Good to know you were able to find an assisted living facility with activities for your parents. Does the assisted living facility have programs or activities for senior couples? It will help if they can do things together.

Your dad is just adjusting to a new housing environment. It is difficult especially when all these years his used to having the privacy. You can\'t blame him because now, not only is he adjusting to the assisted living environment, but he is also adjusting to living with other people who he really don\'t know (of course except for your mother!)

My suggestion is, talk to him and make sure you visit your parents regularly. Ask him too what he wants to do, like what activities he\'ll enjoy doing and probably you can talk to the program director in the assisted living to find out if they can offer some of the activities he like. Most often than not, assisted living facilities are very open when it comes to adding activities for seniors, especially if they have the budget for it. If they do not have any activities that interest your father, probably you can pick him up once a week to do things he likes unless you can convince your mother to move to another assisted living facility for couples that will offer senior activities and programs that will fit your father\'s lifestyle and your mom\'s as well.

Have a good weekend! Good luck!

Thank you for your suggestions and concern esanders89 and annemarie. The assisted living where my parents are living has several senior activities and programs that\'s why mom loves it there. The problem is my dad is not fond of changes. He has a hard time adjusting to his new life in this assisted living facility because its a new environment. I know my dad does not like it now but he will eventually like it. My mom just needs to talk to him to convince him to participate in the activities. I will do my part as well by visiting my parents at least once a week.

Any update on your dad\'s condition? Is he starting to like the Assisted Living facility?
