The "Aging Needs" of our parents

     Our lives have become increasingly hectic and in many cases fraught with stress so we can easily lose site of our parents and what might be called their ‘aging needs’. On top of the everyday 'work' of caring for your own growing family and your business it is easy to overlook what might be occurring with our senior parents. And then you wake up one morning and to your surprise you have suddenly 'become' the parent to your parents!  You realize that the upcoming years are going to be challenging and it dawns on you that neither you nor your parents have had "that discussion." 

     What should you do next...well, first, don't panic!  Soon your own children will be saying the same about you!  So, with that said, it just might be time to get to "that discussion" with your parents and your own children.  Secondly, realize that you are not alone in this dilemma, so there are many resources popping up all over that will help set you on the best path for your circumstances!   And thirdly, thanks to the huge population of baby boomers there is a flourishing senior care industry! 


     Know that all of us at Home Instead Senior Care will be available to assist you whenever you may need ‘direction’ and ‘support’.
