What can be the most agonizinag decission with Seniors?

Ask anyone with an older parent who is suffering from Alzheimer's, Physical limitations or just needs more care or around the clock assistance. When it comes to a parent or loved one we can agonize over so many thoughts; aside from economics there are many guilt producing barriers to arriving at the best decision. What that decision is can obviously be different for many, however the person most affected and may be better off with proper care in a day care setting, or home setting or perhaps senior care facility. Who is most affected, it is generally agreed by most professionals that the patient is the one whom needs to be considered. For the person making care decision, usually a close relative, they must put there feelings aside to assure that the person needing care receives the most appropriate care.

Where can a person go for assistance in a professional environment. There are community, religious and private organization which provide these services in reviewing a case to help get proper care. Today there are many books on the subject which are available to help get a good picture of issues and solutions, along with references that can be used to help plan and solve a situation which could bring about family crisis.

A good friend whose mother is 91 came to a sudden decision about two months ago. He was a full time care giver to his mother who had undergone open heart surgery. Prior to the surgery she exhibited no real signs of memory loss or disorientation, and after that surgery it became evident that she had. He sought out professional help with senior consultants and is preparing to arrange for his mother to enter a home which can best help her now and in the future by providing a safe enviorment with 24 care.

Another friend also in a similar situation found a community service organization and they are helping him to plan out the proper care and living arrangements for there mother including financial assistance.

Some family issues which a need for senior care can bring about are division among family members, unnecessary financial difficulties and other problems. A friend of mine recently related that his sister removed the mother from the home leaving the father helpless, and created a divorce of the parents, while the father ultimately was able to get into full time care these wounds may never heal.

Preplaning when you or a parent can best make decision's about future care is always something to seriously consider even if uncomfortable. Long Term Care can also be something which you can arrange for prior to need.
