In these moments, whatever your prerogative is when it comes to aging or circumventing life\u2019s difficult changes, it\u2019s important to remember that oftentimes, the stability, comfort, and relief that we are searching for lies just beyond moments of uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>Like many aspects of life, it\u2019s imperative to understand the <em>why.<\/em> When we understand <em>why <\/em>someone is feeling or reacting a certain way, we are empowered to set aside frustrations and engage in meaningful, compassionate conversation.<\/p>\n<p>When Dr. Lee A. Lindquist, a geriatrician at Northwestern Medicine conducted a small study among participants, ages 65+ she unveiled 4 key reasons why some resist the idea of home care: <em>1) fear of losing independence 2) desire to not be a burden 3) lack of trust and 4) fear of giving up control. <\/em>All completely understandable!<\/p>\n<p>When we truly take a step back and take stock of why our loved ones feel the way they do, we can shift the conversation in a direction that not only addresses their concerns but also reframes home care as the solution to those very feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n<h3>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fear of Losing Independence<\/h3>\n<p>Many older adults feel that the moment they accept an extra set of hands for help is the moment they lose the ability to do for themselves, which simply is not true!<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Linquist suggests folks work to reframe their definition of independence and instead lean on interdependence. Interdependence strikes a balance between relying on yourself and others. It recognizes that there is value in partnership and often, interdependence allows one to accomplish far more than they could independently. After all, it takes a village, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<h3>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Desire to not be a burden<\/h3>\n<p>Noone wants to feel like they\u2019re putting someone else out by asking for help. Remind your loved one that caregiving is not just a job\u2014 it\u2019s a calling. People who dedicate themselves to this profession do so because they are passionate about helping others. Older adults aren\u2019t hindering anything or anyone by accepting help in their homes; in fact, it\u2019s quite the opposite. At Assisting Hands, it\u2019s an honor to provide care to our clients and we are grateful for the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who trust us to care for them.<\/p>\n<h3>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lack of trust<\/h3>\n<p>Trust is the bedrock of all relationships &#8211; familial and otherwise. For many, inviting someone new into their home can feel daunting and cumbersome. It\u2019s important to validate these concerns and provide reassurance when having these conversations. Make sure you involve your loved one in the decision making process in an effort to address and understand their specific concerns. One of the most important things you can do in any relationship is to make one another feel heard and understood.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, remind them that reputable agencies, like Assisting Hands, undergo rigorous background checks, training processes, and certifications to ensure caregivers are both skilled and compassionate. Knowing the caregiver they would be accepting into their home is qualified, trustworthy, and truly caring could make a world of difference.<\/p>\n<h3>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fear of giving up control<\/h3>\n<p>Reframing our thoughts and how we convey them remains key here! By allowing a caregiver into their home, older adults take BACK control. Caregivers enable clients to stay in the home they love, maintain their health and continue daily routines with ease. Accepting a caregiver isn\u2019t about giving up control, it\u2019s about investing in one\u2019s own health and well-being. With an extra set of <em>Assisting Hands<\/em>, they can focus on what really matters\u2014 living happily and healthy at home.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7402\" src=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/07\/IMG_9009-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Assisting Hands Caregivers\" width=\"675\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/07\/IMG_9009-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/07\/IMG_9009-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/07\/IMG_9009-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/07\/IMG_9009-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/07\/IMG_9009-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2020\/07\/IMG_9009-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We know these conversations may not be easy, but they are worthwhile.
