Moving a Loved One from One Care Home to Another: How Met Medical Can Help
Moving a loved one from one care home to another is a significant decision that requires careful planning and consideration.

At Met Medical, we understand the complexities involved in transferring a relative between care homes and are here to provide professional and compassionate transport services tailored to your needs.

Proximity to Family – Many families wish to have their loved ones closer for more frequent visits and better support.
Level of Care – A change in medical or personal care needs may require a facility with specialized services.
Quality of Life – A better-suited environment, improved facilities, or a more suitable social setting can enhance a resident’s quality of life.
