The thought of a stranger coming into one\u2019s home can sometimes seem overwhelming and result in resistance. When initiating this type of family discussion, it\u2019s important to choose your words carefully\u2014the goal is to have a dialogue, not to dictate the solution you believe is best for your parent. An open, honest conversation will help your loved one recognize the potential need for in-home care and understand how it can positively impact his or her life. Consider the following tips.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Observe &amp; Research<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Perhaps you notice your mom has recently had difficulty climbing the stairs, or Dad has vision problems that have resulted in unsafe driving practices (e.g., drifting into other lanes, not obeying road signs). In any case, it\u2019s important to observe any limitations so you can accurately discuss your concerns with your parents and find the best solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hiring professional in-home care is one of the best ways to ensure your loved one enjoys a high quality of life.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/97\/california\/danapoint\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Homecare<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">experts are available to provide high-quality care to seniors on an as-needed basis. From assistance with mobility and exercise to providing transportation to the doctor\u2019s office and social events, there are a variety of ways professional caregivers can help your aging loved one continue to live independently.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Evaluate Receptiveness &amp; Show You\u2019re a Resource<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Probe lightly during a visit or over the phone (e.g., \u201cWhen was your last doctor\u2019s appointment? What did he\/she say?\u201d or \u201cDid you drive to the mall today? How\u2019s the car?\u201d). If your parent is receptive to your questions, ask how you can be helpful. You want to be respectful and establish yourself as a resource, so avoid phrases like \u201cThat\u2019s not good. We\u2019ll have to do something\u201d or \u201cIt\u2019s definitely time to bring in a caregiver or move you to a facility.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Set the Tone\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let the conversation flow naturally. Ideally, your parent will bring up the topic of assistance, but in most cases, you\u2019ll have to start the dialogue. You can do so directly (e.g., \u201cIt was scary when you almost tripped on the steps this morning. Is that happening often?\u201d) or indirectly (e.g., \u201cLisa\u2019s parents just hired a caregiver to come in three times a week. Her mom is thrilled to have help with housekeeping and cooking, and now she can spend more time gardening and playing with the grandchildren\u201d). Communicate your concerns, but avoid taking a critical approach, as it will likely end the dialogue.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Be Receptive<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do your parents prefer to age at home? What are your parents\u2019 concerns about aging? What\u2019s most important to them? Practice empathetic listening to show you support their opinions. If your parent isn\u2019t open to discussion around additional assistance, try to get to the root of the resistance (e.g., cost, invasion of privacy, loss of independence, fear of theft) and ease his or her concerns (e.g., \u201cThere are many agencies that conduct thorough background checks on caregivers so we can make sure they\u2019re trustworthy\u201d or \u201cCaregivers won\u2019t take away your independence by doing everything for you but instead will only offer help when needed\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though you may be researching multiple agencies that provide <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/97\/california\/danapoint\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">elder care, Dana Point, CA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Assisting Hands Home Care has much to offer your family and your elderly loved one.

Trust Assisting Hands Home Care to help your loved one enjoy a happier and healthier life in the golden years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Consider Bringing in a Third Party<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your loved one is totally resistant to the options you\u2019ve put forth, sometimes it can be helpful to bring in a neutral third party. If your parent has always sought counsel from a priest or rabbi, for example, consider asking if that person could address concerns and suggest options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Follow Up<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Maybe you\u2019re only able to introduce the possibility of home care and your parent needs time to think about it. Respect your loved one\u2019s choice and allow time to digest all of the information you talked about\u2014the final decision should be collaborative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aging in place can present a few unique challenges for older adults.
