Preparing Ahead with Your Aging Family Members

Due to our familial responsibilities, we often find ourselves in charge of making health care decisions for our elderly family members.

Discussing senior and end-of-life care with your loved ones is a crucial first element in establishing these life-changing decisions.

Ask them questions and pay attention to what they have to say so you can figure out what the most critical issues are for them. The more time you give your loved ones to express themselves, the more clearly they will be able to convey their wishes.

Some might want to stay in their homes, while others may prefer to live in a nursing or assisted living facility because they value social interaction more than familiarity.

As a provider of respite care in California, our team also suggests thinking about whether your loved ones can live on their own or not since some may need round-the-clock medical care. In contrast, others may only need little to moderate help around the house.

Precisely knowing what your aging loved ones need enables you to assess the type of care and support you may need to provide.
