We live our busy lives. We have children and all their activities. Our children have children and we get caught up taking care and enjoying our grandchildren. We are accustomed to our parents doing for themselves. In fact, many of us become dependent on our parents helping us in our daily schedules. Time moves on — but how do we know our parents need our help but just aren’t asking us?

You may already be caring for your parents, your spouse, or a significant other or friend. Or you may be watching your parents aging and wondering what the future holds for you. It really doesn’t matter, because the decision to care for your loved one at home is a big decision. After caring for a loved one since 1998, while also visiting relatives in a nursing home, I am totally convinced that caring for a loved one at home is the best route — for your loved one and for your family.
