It can be scary allowing someone into your life to support your loved ones. Not only for you, as many carers put a huge amount of pressure on themselves to find the best care solution for their loved ones, but also the person needing the care has to allow someone into their private space which can also form its own challenges.
When you are discussing with your loved one what type of care to go for it is important to discuss the following:
- What level of support do we need right now
- What level of support will we need if our situation changes
- What type of care is best for us (in-home, care home, assisted living)
- How do we find the right carer
- What responsibilities would be most beneficial for us to out-source to best maintain good relationships and mental health whilst keeping everyone comfortable
Whilst challenging, having an open and honest conversation about the above can really help you decide what direction you would like to go with your loved ones’ care.
