CHANGES AT HOME
Communicate beforehand
Once you gain a full
understanding of your loved one’s physical
and mental condition and before this person
moves into your
home, discuss it with your family.
Adding a new member to your household
will affect everyone, so each member
of the family, including
young children, should be included when
discussing how the family dynamic will
change.
Parents must recognize
that even young children might be asked to
make
sacrifices to accommodate aging loved ones.
Explain these sacrifices in advance and how
important it is to make an aging loved one
feel welcome when they move in.
Discuss conditions with
children
Children might recognize their grandparents
or elderly loved ones have physical
limitations, but they might not understand
dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
Parents can ask a physician about how to
explain cognitive decline to young children.
Children might not recognize cognitive
decline as readily as adults, so discuss these
conditions with children periodically and/or
if the conditions worsen.
Millions of people across the globe welcome
aging loved ones into their homes
when they can no longer care for themselves.
Such caregiving changes family dynamics,
and these changes should be discussed before
and after a loved one moves in.
