Four tips for discussing in-home care

by ElderCarelink

For senior adults who take pride in their independence, admitting they might need help around the house can be challenging. They might resist the thought of someone being in their home on a regular basis, even if that person has their best interests at heart. Preparing your loved one for in-home care is an important step toward a smooth transition. In-home care allows your elder to remain independent, maintain the comforts of home, and reap the benefits of a part- or full-time caregiver.

Approach the topic with patience and understanding, and keep these tips in mind along the way:

1. Emphasize the positive. Point out the many things they can still do on their own. Talk about their freedom to make choices, and assure them they will still be in charge.

2. Talk about what a caregiver can do for them. Ask them what burdens they might want lifted. Do they worry about forgetting their medication? Would they like to have their meals prepared for them? Making decisions together can open the doors to change.

3. Talk to the doctor. Sometimes hearing the encouragement of a physician can help overcome resistance to an in-home caregiver. At the very least, the recommendation can open doors to further discussion.

4. Interview caregivers together. Make the decision with your loved one. If they know their opinion is valued, they might feel more in control, and be more accepting of in-home care.

By involving your loved one in every step of the decision for in-home care, you are showing them how much their opinion matters, which can help the transition for everyone.

Halloween safety Tips for the Elderly    For most of us Halloween holds childhood memories of dressing up, carving pumpkins and going door to door for candy and treats. And for the elder population this memory expands to giving out candy and treats to the costumed children at their door.
