find solutions that work for all of you.In this
post, well walk you through five factors to
consider when caring for elderly parents. Read on

Consider Their Wishes
The vast majority of seniors desire to stay in
their homes and age in place, which is perfectly
understandable. Others might prefer the idea of
moving in with one of their adult children or
another family member so they dont feel
isolated. True, you may not be able to
accommodate all of their wishes. But you should
dignify them by allowing them to have as much say
in the decision-making process as possible.

Consider Their Needs
Are they both still in generally good health and
able to do most things on their own? Is their
home free of potential hazards? Do they only need
occasional help with housework, cooking, or
shopping? If theyre still mostly
self-sufficient, they can continue living at
home. . Once you know how much help they
require, youre in a better position to examine
care options.

Consider Your Own Circumstances
Do you work full-time? Do you have children of
your own still living at home? How far away do
you live from your parents? Are you physically
(and emotionally) fit and able to provide weekly
or daily care? Be honest with your parents and
yourself about how much responsibility you can
handle.

Ask For (And Accept) Help From Others
Theres no shame in asking for help with it comes
to caring for elderly parents. In fact, you
absolutely can and should ask for help to ensure
your parents get the best possible care.
Depending on their needs and the familys
financial situation, you may be able to hire home
health aides or become a paid caregiver yourself.
Or, if there are enough family and close friends
nearby, perhaps you can set up a rotating
schedule of caregiving or running errands.

Encourage Physical Social Activities
Perhaps one of the biggest challenges of
providing senior care is keeping elderly ones
physically and socially active. The good news is
theres plenty of fun and healthy ways to keep
your parents feeling young at heart. The more
active they stay, the healthier and happier
theyll remain in their golden years.
