Did you know that according to some reports, the population of those aged 85 and older is expected to triple in number between now and 2050 in the United States? On one hand, this is good news as people are living longer but it also points out the need, for many families, for more senior care.

But building more housing for seniors and creating more retirement homes may not be the best answer. Thankfully, more senior home care agencies are being created to help more seniors stay at home as long as possible.

What is encouraging is that many of these new agencies are getting better at meeting the specific needs of seniors while becoming more affordable than years past. Many offer a wide range of services to fit a senior’s specific needs.

Elderly seniors who continue to live at home are usually more happy, healthy and more at peace. This in turn takes away the worry and stress off the loved ones caring for them. Seniors who continue to live at home are able to hang on to their dignity and sense of personal freedom. The help providers work around the senior’s schedule, not the other way around.

True, some senior home care options are more expensive than traditional retirement home care, but this isn’t always the case. It really depends on the amount of care needed on a daily basis. For those suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia, the costs could go way up, but the trade off just might make it worth it to you.

Let’s face it, there are very few of us who have the skills needed to take care of a senior citizen’s medical needs on our own. Even if we could, the stress of such could be overwhelming. Bringing in a qualified staff person into the home of your parent could help relieve a lot of stress for you. The key is to bring in someone who enjoys working with and being with senior citizens. Just because someone is good at their job means that they will be the right one to work with your parent.

While your parents are healthy and active is the best time to talk with them about future options. If you suspect that your parent will do whatever is easiest for the family, you might be surprised to learn that they would much rather stay put if at all possible.

Don’t wait for the last minute to discuss the option of senior home care with your parents today and get the conversation rolling. No one wants to have to make sudden changes if not necessary.

Kathy Castor’s union thugs beat up a guy (in the green shirt – evidence 3:21) and shut the doors to prevent the opposing opinions from being heard. She then proceeded leave, not taking any questions, because “she couldn’t hear.” Translation: she doesn’t have answers ’cause she hasn’t read the House bill.

There are other videos of citizens who accidentally made it into the hall through the back door before the event because people thought they were union. Castor’s constituents were basically banned from the event because they picked a small venue and stacked the audience beforehand.
