• Do you have nightmares of your elderly mother or father slipping on the bathroom floor and cracking or breaking a hip?

• Are you petrified that your aging family member is still driving when you know his/her eyesight and hearing are not as sharp anymore… making them vulnerable to a serious accident, which could disable or cost them their life?

• Are you overwhelmed with juggling the multiple responsibilities of your career, home and caring for a sick mother, father or chronically ill adult?

• Are you sleepless because you don’t know where to turn for help for any of these problems?

If so, there is a solution.

Caregiving for Elderly Parents or Chronically Ill Adults

Where do you begin if you are, or will soon be, caring for an elderly parent or a middle-aged adult who has a chronic illness?

• First, if you have siblings or family members who are involved with caregiving decisions, call a family meeting immediately, if that is practical, and have a frank talk about your elderly loved one’s situation;

• Second, if you live out-of-town, call friends, neighbors or family members back home and discuss your elderly parent’s or family’s situation with them to get their input;

• If you are the only relative, son or daughter, you may want to talk with some
  of your parent’s close friends, physicians, trusted neighbors;

• Fourth, determine, in your discussions, if a comprehensive evaluation is necessary. This assessment should evaluate your elderly parent’s physical, psychological, social, financial and environmental needs;

• Finally, discuss whether you want to implement a care plan that responds to the findings uncovered in the assessment. The care plan should address all the in-home and out-of-home care management services including counseling needed to ensure the highest possible care for your elderly parent or aging family member.

Then, put the plan into action. A licensed, credentialed and experienced geriatric care manager can ease the turmoil and tremendous burden of caring for an elderly parent.
