What to do when your elderly loved one needs care<\/h3>\n

As you notice changes in a loved one, there are a few things that you can do to help them and your family as a whole:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Arrange for a family meeting to discuss your care options. Be sure to include the wishes of the loved one who needs care in the discussion.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If there is a noticeable decline in thinking and reasoning in a loved one, schedule a doctor\u2019s appointment and ask the physician to test for cognitive function. And don\u2019t assume cognitive decline is an unavoidable part of aging. Some causes are treatable, such as interaction of medications.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Have everyone in your family (including spouses) check with their employers to see if their companies offer any caregiver benefits.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Ask the care agency for a care plan specifically based on your loved one\u2019s physical needs, cognitive needs and goals.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Have a family member accompany your loved one to as many medical appointments as possible. This allows them to serve as another set of eyes and ears, and become a
\npatient advocate if necessary.<\/p>\n
