As much as we all love the idea of remaining at home until our last breath, sometimes, Life has a different plan for us. The reality of aging in place can become overwhelming, not only for the person of advanced years, but also for the person providing care. Facing the possibility of moving our parent, relative or spouse away from home can make us feel like traitors, going against everyone's wishes -- and against the vision of an idyllic home setting. What do you do?
As family caregivers, we must make life-changing decisions for ourself and for others. The way to arrive at the best decision for our particular circumstances is to educate ourself on the subject in question, learn from trusted professionals, and weigh the alternatives.
To that end, Michael Gill, President of Texas Senior Living Locators, discusses the different types of Senior Living. Knowing - and personally seeing - that they are generally quite inviting may make it easier to give ourself permission to consider moving our loved one to a community when it becomes necessary.
Thank you, Michael, for sharing your time & expertise with Caregiving Cafe!
