Discussing Home Care with Aging Parents

As our parents age, it can be difficult to talk to them about getting some help at home.

However, it's important to have these conversations to ensure that loved ones remain safe. When you bring up the idea of getting some help from a caregiver, your parents may welcome the idea, but more likely, they become defensive or conscious.

If this happens, here are some ways that you can navigate this difficult topic.

• Try to see things from your parents' points of view.
  
  
• Choose a setting with limited interruptions.
  
  
• Start the conversation early rather than later.
  
  
• Focus on the benefits of home care, including Aging in Place.
  
  
• Listen to your parents' opinions.
  
  
• Research senior care options, including a Concierge Service.
  
  
• Share how you feel about your parents aging.
