How to Help Your Aging Parent Remain At Home

When you visit your parents, you may notice they're struggling more and more with daily tasks. At this juncture, it may be helpful to discuss the future with them. At Visiting Angels^® Seattle, we help seniors age in place with in home care services and comprehensive support. We know how important it is to plan ahead. 

Let's take a look at where to start.

3 Things To Consider For Aging In Place 

If your loved one wishes to remain at home for as long as possible, here's what you'll want to discuss:

• Think about safety. Slips, falls, and other injuries can have devastating effects on seniors living alone. When it comes to aging in place, safety should always be a key priority. Depending on your loved one's needs, a few key renovations might make a significant difference. Think about increasing lighting, reducing furniture and clutter, and adding safety railings.
  
  
• Think about transportation. At some point or another, your loved one may not be able to drive themselves around. In that case, how will they get groceries? How can they visit family or go places? Fortunately, Seattle has a great public transit system—but you may also want to plan for other options, depending on your loved one's abilities.
  
  
• Plan ahead for future support. Unfortunately, most seniors' needs will advance over time. It's essential to plan ahead for that right now. Will they need in home care services now or in the future? Will they need to consider a retirement home at a certain point? While these discussions are tough, it's better to have them now rather than later.
