When daily life is hectic, it can be difficult to keep in touch with our loved ones. It’s even more challenging if they don’t live in the same city that we do. If an aging parent is having trouble managing at home, it’s important to take action before more problems arise. Start by determining what Mom or Dad needs, perhaps with the help of other family members and your loved one’s physician. Explore the options for senior care in your loved one’s community. Home care services, such as personal care, housekeeping and companionship, can help older adults keep living independently for as long as possible.
