Planning Your Aging Parents Care

Planning Your Aging Parents Care

Open up the care conversation with the resources found at CareConversations.org

Join the #CareConvo Twitter party with @Resourcefulmom on 11/12 at 8 PM ET. RSVP link: http://resourcefulmommy.com/14363/care-conversations-twitter-party/

It’s inevitable.  As we age – our parents are aging with us.  With that aging comes a lot of issues that need discussion.  There will come the time that you or another family member will need to start the conversation on what their wishes are for when they can no longer care for themselves at a 100% capacity.   Now is a great time to start the planning your aging parent’s care.  This is where you may find careconversations.org a helpful resource for you to tap into.  It’s all about planning and preparing.

There are many resources available today that weren’t around 30 years ago. There’s in-home care (LNA’s/CNA’s), respite services for their caretakers.  There’s skilled nursing home care and assisted living homes.  An adult daycare may be an option for your situation.  Maybe you just need someone to come in for personal care.  And then one may just need some rehabilitation care.

With their being so many options out there now – family members need to be informed as to what best fits the needs of the aging parent and their family, based on circumstances at hand.  Although if your parent has been hospitalized – often times the hospital will make the recommendation as to what they see as being the best solution for the patient and their family.

For example – my mom is extremely independent and in her late 70’s.  She recently experienced a huge blood clot in her leg, which landed her in the hospital.  She had been out of commission for nearly a month and it was recommended that she go to the rehab center once released from the hospital.  This was done so they could make sure before she went back home (where she lives alone) that she could dress herself, prepare meals (nothing spectacular soups, sandwiches etc.) and walk about with duramedical equipment, such as a walker and cane.  Her staying with one of us children wasn’t an option for her.  The accessibility into our homes wasn’t there; nor was the availability for her to have round the clock care.

Mom stayed at the rehab center for two weeks before going home. Once home, visiting nurses went in daily to make sure she was taking her meds, eating, and bathing.  They would draw her blood so that she didn’t need to go out every day.  After so long the visits become more infrequent until they finally stopped.  Family members checked in on her daily.  Now she is able to get out and about safely, but always carries a cell phone with her in case she needs to call call my brother, 911, the neighbor, or myself.

A combination of services were used for mom’s care.   And with there being so many options available, often times families are overwhelmed with all of them.  What do they mean?  Which option is best for our loved one?  Where do I go to set the services up?  This is where careconversations.org can help you make an informed decision.

 

It’s never too early to have a care conversation with the aging parent(s).  If they are of sound mind to help in the decision making process – they will be much more open to the different options that are available to them.  Guide them to the Care Conversations website – let them read what’s available.

Lastly, find out before they can’t make their own decisions if they have Advanced Directives in place.  If they don’t, encourage them to do so.  I know the last thing I want is to be kept alive on life support UNLESS there is a good chance that I could survive and would be able to live a good quality of life.  And yes, one can put in place stipulations when making out their Advance Directives.  It’s all about planning and preparing.  Planning and preparing their care, their finances, their advanced directives.

Visiting the planning and preparing section at Care Conversations can help you with this overwhelming, emotional, but necessary decision making process.

Do you have an aging parent?  Have you had a care conversation with them?

Hosted by: Mom Powered Media

Agent Ace is the new way to find the best real estate agent. When you’ve thought about buying a home, how did you figure out who would help you with that? Did you find someone who you felt you could trust to get you what you wanted from it, whether that was a good price on a new home or the best sale of your old one? A lot of homeowners and potential buyers will just pick a random agent from a list online without a lot of background on what they’re best at. It’s like throwing a dart at the Yellowpages. With just a little information from you, Agent Ace can to sell your home or buy a new one.

agentace sweepstakes

They’re not a service who bases their list on whoever pays the most in your area either, so there’s no worry about what goes on behind the scenes. For those of us in the market, Agent Ace a completely free service. Their innovative, patented technology — the Agent Connection Engine (ACE) — makes an unbiased evaluation of every agent who has bought or sold a home just like the one you’re trying to close on based on the information you’ve provided. They gather and analyze years of past home sales data from ALL the real estate agents in your state, not just a small network. Then they promise to recommend the single best agent for your needs — based on facts.

agentace sweepstakes

Agent Ace is free, easy to use, and there’s no obligation to use any of the agents they recommend. You’re not locked into anything if you don’t find someone you think fits or if maybe you decide you’re not ready yet. They make up to 3 agent recommendations for buying and 3 for selling so you can choose the best fit for your needs and your style. Once they identify your best agent, the experienced Agent Specialists will screen them and confirm that they can fully commit to you. They do the initial contact and the sometimes awkward “Hey, can you take a new client right now?” questions for you. Once they’re sure it’s a great fit, your recommended agent will give you a call within 24 hours (but usually sooner). It’s as easy as ordering take-out.
