Loving Care Givers in Austin

Find loving care this Valentines Day and every day with BrightStar Care of Austin



The determination of the need for in-home care is a decision that more adult children will face as aging parents live longer. Members of the “sandwich” generation are caught between obligations for work and their own children, as well as caring for their aging parents. It can be especially stressful if their parents live in a different city or state.
 
A member of my extended family faced this sort of situation. This person is an intelligent man who works in healthcare, but when his mother had some health issues and needed in-home care, he didn’t know where to begin. He didn’t know what his options were, what Medicare would cover and wouldn’t, or what he should do next. Being suddenly thrust into making decisions about something with which you are not familiar can be overwhelming.
 
While seeking home health care can be stressful, it doesn’t have to be something you face alone. The following are some of the most important items your family should consider when a loved one needs extra care.
  1. Recognize the signs of physical or mental issues
  2. Start the conversation about home care
  3. Legal and financial decisions
  4. Know when it’s time to get help
An in-home care provider can help relieve some of that responsibility. It may seem at first like no one can take care of your loved one like you can. Only you know their life story and their needs. Getting help with that burden can let you be the kind of family member you want to be, rather than feeling overwhelmed. Contact a BrightStar Care® home care agency near you to find out how we can help with this process.
