November 02, 2022 // Franchising.com // PHOENIX, Ariz. - Many of us will be spending Thanksgiving with our parents and siblings. This time of the year when we’re all together provides us with the opportunity to observe our aging parents’ well-being and have a conversation about any assistance they may need.
Assisted Living Locators, a nationwide senior placement and referral service, is providing tips for talking with aging parents over Thanksgiving to begin long-term care planning.
Angela Olea RN, Assisted Living Locators Brand President stated that festive occasions such as Thanksgiving are eye-opening to age-related decline, cognitive impairment, and health or safety issues facing older loved ones.
“Long-term care is an important topic that every family should discuss,” she explained. “Assisted Living Locators is a free service that can help provide insight on preparing for the future. Our senior care advisors provide guidance on how to have tough conversations with parents or other aging family members.”
According to Olea, there are five must-have conversations you should have with your aging parents this Thanksgiving holiday.
“Allow time for your aging parents to express anxieties and needs,” said Olea. “You can decide together what needs to be done and who can help.”
She added that Assisted Living Locators can help you explore and understand elder care options. “We meet with families to discuss their loved one’s current situation and needs,” said Olea. “We offer a variety of care resources including in-home and respite care, assisted living, and memory care.”
