Moving into an independent or assisted living community is a big change, and it often comes with new challenges. From adjusting to a smaller space to making sure the environment feels safe and supportive, there’s a lot to think about.
At DRM Wellness, our Thriving in Transition program is designed to take away that stress and make the move smoother, safer, and more comfortable for you or your loved one.
Thriving in Transition is a personalized move-in assessment led by a licensed occupational therapist as a wellness consultation. It is not therapy and is not billed to insurance or Medicare.
During this visit, we carefully review the new living space to identify risks, recommend helpful modifications, and set up practical solutions that make daily life easier. The goal is simple: to help you or your loved one settle in with confidence and maintain independence from the very first day.
Whether you’re moving yourself, a parent, or another loved one, this program is about starting strong in a new environment. It’s peace of mind for families and a foundation of safety and confidence for residents.
