So, you have noticed the various warning
signs that the current living arrangements of your loved one doesn’t support
his/her health and well-being any longer. But how can you bring up this
difficult subject of making a transition to assisted living?
Here are some suggestions to help you talk
with your loved ones about making the transition to assisted living Las Vegas:
·
Involve your family members.
In case you have brothers and sisters or other
close family members, then try to have a family gathering before you plan on
speaking to the individual. Your family must listen to the concerns and
questions of each other without creating any kind of stress for the individual,
and together, the family can agree on the right and best thing to do.
·
Frame the conversation
focusing on your concerns. Telling your loved one
that you are concerned that they aren’t taking their medications is a better
way of discussing your loved one’s health than saying them that they have been
forgetting to take their medications. Allow your loved one or parents to hear
your concerns, suggests a caregiver at the Vegas adult day care, and thereby
respond to your concerns and emotion – it is a much more inviting and involving
way of having an honest and open conversation.
·
Let your parents be a
parent. You must make sure that you involve your
parents in the whole decision-making process, and listen to their feelings and
thoughts. Work with your parents or your loved one to tour the assisted living
community or adult day care, and discuss the finances, and make good decisions
together.
