Getting Started

Begin the conversation about in-home care with your loved ones 

Engaging in conversations about in-home care assistance with your loved ones can pose a challenging task. Such discussions often elicit discomfort and difficulty, particularly when adult children initiate talks about supporting their parents. It is common for parents to interpret this as a potential loss of control and independence. Taking proactive steps to plan for the future empowers you to make crucial decisions while you still have the capacity. Home-based care encompasses health, personal, and additional support services tailored to help you stay at home and maintain the highest level of independence possible.

Furthermore, addressing the topic of senior living arrangements, whether within the home or elsewhere, is best approached well in advance of any urgent need. Waiting until after a significant event, such as a fall or hospitalization, or observing a decline in cognitive function, as seen in Alzheimer’s or other dementias, can lead to heightened stress levels and intense emotions. Introducing significant life changes under such circumstances only magnifies the stress. Let's initiate this conversation now.
