Q. My parents need help, but object any mention of home
care assistance. How can I convince them to change their mind?
A. Your parent's objection is a normal reaction for many of
today's seniors. There are a multitude of reasons why seniors
resist home care, including the following: Receiving home care is an acknowledgement of aging and the
impending life issues involved, including the loss of
independence and control over their own life... one of the
greatest fears of seniors Sincerely don't recognize or believe they need help They don't want and/or are afraid of having strangers in their
house Costs too much They want their family to provide care, not an outside service Embarrassing having to rely on others Flaunting wealth
These are legitimate concerns of many seniors and their
resistance towards home care will not subside until their
concerns are addressed. We understand your parents' fears
and our professional staff can help you resolve these
objections by illustrating the truths and benefits of home care.
Truth - home care improves the lives of seniors and their
families. Our Care Providers relieve the stress and burden
endured by families who provide care to family members while
trying to live their own lives. In many instances, the
supplemental help we provide improves the relationship among
family members by allowing them to relax and enjoy their time
together.
While most seniors associate home care as a signal of losing
independence and control, the truth is that home care actually
allows them more control over their own lives and can elongate
their independence by helping them to remain in their own
home for as long as possible. Our services allow them to
become less reliant on their family, which lessens guilt, improves
their self-worth, and provides for a healthier more joyful lifestyle
for them and their family.
Seniors, like anyone, should be wary of letting strangers in
their house. Truth..we feel the same way, which is why every
one of our Care Providers is thoroughly screened, trained,
bonded, insured and supervised.
Truth - some individuals will never allow home care into their
home, regardless of the circumstances, family wishes or care
needs. For those cases, we have alternative programs that
utilize Personal Emergency Responses Systems. Seniors and
their families can still get the security and protection they want,
without intrusion to their privacy.
These are only a few examples of the reality of home care and
the benefits involved. Don't let objections stop you from getting
the care your parents need and deserve. Call us today and we
will help you overcome the objections and provide you with the
means to a better quality of life for your parent's and your family.
We're here to help. Consultation and in-home assessments are
always without cost of obligation.
