If you notice these signs, this could be an opportunity to have some conversations that result in more help at home. Having conversations together as a family is the best first step to determine what type of care and how much care may be needed. Making the change to have in-home care may be scary for aging adults as no one wants to feel like they are losing control of their life and independence. Starting with acknowledging the desire to remain home is a great way to discuss the options without overshadowing the end goal of determining how to keep a senior or aging adult at home safely. As conversations progress, having collective conversations together with the family and senior helps to ensure that the decision for in-home care is a joint effort and not something forced. It is important to make sure that you have the right in-home care provider for your family. Asking questions and understanding the information helps to confirm this change is a good fit and reinforces the feeling of comfort knowing you or the senior in your family is in good hands.
