Building on
the initiative to "age in place", information in the following topics of
interest will help you to sort through the range of options and
alternative living arrangements to maintain a good quality of life for
your aging family member. You'll learn about steps to take to maintain a
safe home environment, assess issues and circumstances related to long
distance caregiving, broaden your understanding of community based
resources such as the Area Agency on Aging to help guide your
decision-making. You'll also increase your understanding of how to manage
medication for your aging family member.
When the
situation does not fully support your family member to remain in their
home, you'll gain the necessary knowledge and understanding about
choosing alternative living arrangements such as personal care homes,
nursing home or assisted living community. |
