Senior Care in Golf

When You Feel Guilty Asking For Help

If you are considering looking into professional services for senior care in Golf but hesitating due to an underlying sense of guilt, we’d like to share some information with you that might help. Caregiver guilt is actually very common–and, almost certainly entirely undeserved. This kind of guilt is due to faulty beliefs that stem from good intentions gone awry.

Top Faulty Beliefs Behind Caregiver Guilt

• I should be able to handle this myself. It's hard to handle all the care of a loved one by yourself. Even if you somehow manage to “handle it all” it’s unlikely you’re doing it well. 
• They don’t want anyone else to help besides me. Maybe so, but when you explain that you need the help in order to stay healthy yourself–and the consequences of what could happen to them should you fall ill, they may see it as the best alternative. 
• It’s too expensive. While we can’t tell you what you can and can’t afford, we can tell you that compared to nursing homes or assisted living, in-home care is far more reasonable. In our case, we also offer hourly rates and flexible payment options that make senior care more accessible to more Golf-area families.
