No one wants to think about a time when driving is no longer possible…
No one intends to think about a time when cooking and cleaning is just too much…
No one wants to think about a time when a fall may occur in their home…
Until it happens.
It's never easy to talk about senior living and senior care with family or loved ones. It's easy to ignore the subject and wait it out. However, when a senior and their loved ones find themselves in a situation where care is needed sooner rather than later, it can be a stressful process to choose an in-home senior care provider or a senior community at the last minute.
Whether it's a fall, sickness or gradual changes in health, many seniors and families find themselves in a situation where care is needed now, and a decision is made quickly.
We can't predict the future, but we can prepare for it. Prepare for the worst-case and prepare for the best-case situation. Take the time now to research local senior communities and in-home senior care options. Make an effort to visit senior living communities when you and your family are in good health and a good state of mind. Talk openly about what should happen in a worst-case scenario. Ask the hard questions to mom or dad and make a plan.
This planning saves you time, money and emotional stress if something should happen. Be prepared and provide your family and your loved one with peace of mind if your health, or the health of a loved one, changes in the future.
