Taking Care of Our Aging Parents

When our parents or loved ones begin to show signs that they need us to step in, on their behalf, it can be emotionally challenging.  We live our lives with our parents acting as our guides, and then a tipping point occurs and we recognize that the roles may be reversed.  Of course, this won\’t be true for everyone ~ some folks will live out their lives independently, with little to no assistance.  Other families may experience the shift, where it becomes apparent that Mom or Dad need help.  If you have siblings, there may be an opportunity to share responsibilities; or you may need to hire outside help. So many decisions…Planning For Seniors can help.

Our goal is to assist you in meeting the long term care needs and concerns of your aging loved ones. Certainly the financial responsibilities are a huge consideration, but definitely not the only concern.  There are shifts in family dynamics, feelings of loss or anger, fear…it\’s truly not an occasion for celebration, but you do not have to navigate this confusing time alone.

Planning for Seniors founder, Deborah Short, has more than twenty five years of experience helping families take care of their aging loved ones.  She is so passionate about the topic that she wrote a book, “Navigating the Care of Your Aging Loved One.” It truly is an insightful guide to modern aging.  You can find the book on Amazon or visit the website.
