It’s an all-too-familiar scenario for millions of adults: Dad and Mom are getting older and can no longer complete their day-to-day activities without some assistance. “But” they say, “please don’t put me in a home.”
Many seniors prefer to age in place, but when a senior parent’s health declines and they need immediate or sudden help, then we may be faced with the critical decision of whether or not to provide that care ourselves.
Many of us do end up deciding to become family caregivers, a demanding role that often includes advocating for your loved one, coordinating providers and performing home medical care tasks.
The San Fernando Valley Senior Services Directory has caregiver support resources. For information, click here.
