Caring for Your Aging Parents
|
|
Ways to safeguard the home
Install an emergency alert system that can be activated from anywhere in the home. Install grab bars and handrails, place nonslip strips in tubs and showers. Secure or remove rugs, keep paths clear, and make sure lighting is adequate to prevent falls. | |
Tips for Caregivers
-
Post important telephone numbers in case of emergency (e.g., physician, emergency
services).
- Safeguard your parent's home.
- Complete first-aid and CPR courses.
- Talk to your parent about the future; understand his or her wishes.
- Make sure your parent has a will, durable power of attorney, health-care proxy,
and living will.
- Join a support group or cultivate friendships where you can talk openly about your
caregiving responsibilities and challenges.
- Seek assistance from friends and relatives, community services (home health care,
meal delivery, adult day care, etc.), and other sources.
-
Talk to your employer. Some employers will help by offering flexible schedules or
other assistance.
- Be aware that the Family and Medical Leave Act requires employers of 50 or more
employees to grant eligible employees unpaid leave to care for a member of their
immediate family who has a serious health condition.
