How do I convince my parent to accept help at home?
Seniors who are reluctant to accept care at home are often not a good fit to remain at home if they are struggling with essential tasks that, if neglected, could harm their health. Open and honest conversations about the options available to them is a good way to start the conversation. Utilizing an in-home care agency caregiver for a weekly minimum of say, 3-4 hours per day, 3-4 days per week under the guise of cleaning, can sometimes help get the ball rolling as well. Be flexible, but also honest with your parents about the direction the train of life is heading and the options available to them.
