The Do’s and Don’ts of Caring For Elderly Parents in Your Home

You only want the best for your elderly loved one. Whether you are their full-time caregiver, or they reside in an assisted living community, knowing the best ways to give them optimal care can help them live their best senior life. Here are some things to consider when it comes to elderly care.

Handling Decision Making With Family Members

Every year, many individuals undertake the significant responsibility of caring for a senior at home. Family members sometimes make informal arrangments to share the burden of providing for an elderly parent. If your elderly loved one develops significant health problems or mental confusion, this process may require the presence of a full-time caregiver in the residence.

Arranging For Adequate Healthcare For an Elderly Loved One

In some situations, family members caring for an elderly parent at home request regular home visits from medical professionals provided through a health care agency. This situation varies widely, based upon individual circumstances. Visiting nurse services often offer valuable assistance in helping families determine whether a home environment remains safe and comfortable for an ill elderly loved one.

If there are concerns about the long-term future of a home care situation, you may want to explore available assisted living options. While many adult children of elderly parents feel guilty even for the consideration of an assisted living care — they shouldn’t. Places like The Abors offer many seniors an opportunity to form a community with peers who share similar needs and social interests.

Warning Signs Indicating The Need For Assisted Living

At what point should family members consider searching for an assisted living center to supply care for an elderly parent? Consider looking into this option in any of these common situations:

  • A parent’s health condition deteriorates and the home environment becomes a potentially medically unsafe or uncomfortable location for the ailing parent;
  • Medical professionals advise the family to explore assisted living options.
  • A legal guardian recommends considering assisted living as a more suitable alternative than home-based care.
  • An overwhelmed caregiver needs a respite from the responsibility of furnishing care.
  • The patient asks the family to provide assisted living instead of home care.
  • The burden of caring for an elderly loved one places excessive stress on the household.

The Arbors Assisted Living Community fosters an environment of compassion and encourages seniors who are new to the environment to participate in activities and make new friends. If you are concerned about a loved one who is living on their own and want to learn more about assisted living options, contact us today!
