If you are someone who has an elderly parent that is living alone, then you probably are constantly worrying about them. You are wondering if they are eating healthy, keeping their home and yard clean, or even that they are safe. In the 21st Century families are living in single-family homes and they are not sharing their home with their elderly parents or grandparents. In the 19th and 20th Century the family unit
would often live together and help each other out when there was a need in the family. Now our parents or grandparents are in need of elderly home care because of where we live or our busy lifestyles. Many older individuals prefer to remain in their home after a spouse passes away, and they do not realize how lonely it will be to remain in their home alone. When an elderly friend or family member loses someone, they do not want to lose their friends and home as well. Arranging for a company to come into their home and regularly check on their health and quality of life can be a reassuring feeling for family members who are not living close by a lonely loved one. Sometimes it is hard to convince our parents or loved ones that they need help, especially our parents. Having your children trying to tell you what to do and what is best for you can be a hard line to pull. Many
people are used to being independent and are not willing to give up their freedom and personal space. They have been taking care of their children and themselves for years, so why do they need someone to come and care for them now. It is hard to convince someone that they need a little help sometimes. It is easiest
to start slowly when it comes to elderly home care. Maybe they can have someone come over once a week to help with a meal or light cleaning. Soon your family member will become friends with their caregiver and realize the help and convenience it is to have them in their lives.
