Polar bears dig into deep snow drifts to keep their cubs warm and protected, and birds create nests to nurture their young. Most animals work vigorously to build a safe home, and humans are no different. After spending years in their homes, seniors can feel extremely disoriented during when it’s time to move away. That’s why Busy Buddies provides caring transitions. Read on as we explain more about why moving to a new home can be such an emotionally difficult transition for seniors.
Relocation Stress Syndrome (RSS)
Moving is one of the most stressful experiences of life. The connection we have to our home and all the memories created in it creates a powerful pull that makes leaving traumatic for some. For seniors, it is often a matter of parting with decades of physical and emotional connection. Relocation Stress Syndrome can occur before a move and last for about three to six months afterward.
This condition became an official diagnosis in 1992 by the North American Nurses Association. Today, healthcare providers and insurance companies are giving seniors special attention to help them manage the stress.
