While it can be rewarding to be a senior caregiver, there are also many demands on your time, including balancing work, family, caregiving responsibilities, and your own self-care. It can be difficult for many caregivers to take time for themselves because it can feel selfish. With the proper support and resources for you and your aging family member, you can both have what you need to thrive.
When Is the Right Time to Consider Senior Living?
Senior living communities support residents while helping them maintain their lifestyles and as much independence as appropriate and possible. The type of care and lifestyle your aging family member requires depends on their unique situation.
Some signs that it may be time to consider senior living include:
-
Increased risk of falling or other physical risks
-
Signs of social isolation or loneliness, such as depression, anxiety, or weight loss
-
Increased medical requirements or a complicated treatment regimen
-
Difficulty maintaining the home
-
Diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, or other forms of dementia
