How To Have Difficult Conversations With Your Loved Ones
Growing older can become a difficult process for seniors, as well as their adult children. The transition from taking care of their loved ones over the years, to needing their own help being taken care of, can come with mixed emotions. These types of changes are often met with some difficult decisions, safety concerns, and negative feelings toward dependence. But we, here at Park Central, want you to feel confident that you’re not alone in this decision making process. Transitions like these can be made much easier through open and honest communication.
We asked our Park Central Nurse Navigator, Karen Jeffers, for tips on how to handle these types of difficult conversations; such as driving, needing extra care, medication management, or planning for the future.
