Are you looking for assisted living Littleton CO that offers high-quality care for your aging parent or a loved one diagnosed with memory loss? If so, Lighthouse Assisted Living is a local nurse-owned assisted living community offering a higher level of care and support.
As an adult child or a spouse, you may be hesitant or unsure about how to discuss the topic of assisted living with a loved one. Family caregivers experience tremendous guilt when considering moving aging parents or spouses out of the family home to an assisted living or memory care community.
It is common for family caregivers to become emotionally or physically burned out and exhausted after weeks, months, or years of caregiving responsibilities. Feeling weary results from focusing on caregiving activities to the exclusion of other parts of life. Not paying attention to health, well-being, personal relationships, work or a career, pursuing education and doing things you love eventually catches up to pose negative consequences.
Some caregivers become so worn down and emotionally distraught that they become sick. While at the same time, aging parents or spouses need more and more of the caregiver’s time.
Rather than waiting until an unexpected illness or health crisis occurs that forces decision-making, why not make a plan today to talk about the benefits of assisted living care? Maybe you attempted to talk with elderly parents or a spouse about moving to assisted living and the conversation didn’t go the way you hoped, here are a few suggestions:
