Adult children often serve as caregivers for aging parents. Are you prepared for the role?
Caregivers must monitor the health and independence of their aging parents. Start by evaluating the situation from a caregivers' perspective. Are your parents safe in their home? How well are your parents taking care of themselves? How are your parents' spirits? Are your parents having difficulty getting around? Talk with your parents if you have any concerns about their health or safety.
Caregivers must also be prepared for an emergency. Compile a list of your parents' doctors, allergies, medications, surgeries, insurance information and other important details. Discuss long term health care, living wills and advance directives.
Caregivers face many challenges. If necessary, seek help from other family members or local social service agencies.
