Is your mom a senior citizen living alone?

Are you wondering if she's taking her medication correctly, scheduling appointments, eating regularly, keeping up on her bills and opening mail?

Are you concerned that she is not taking care of herself the way she used to but fearful of offending her or intruding on her privacy?

LIFE can visit your mother and assess how she is doing. As professionals, we can broach subjects that family members are uncomfortable or unfamiliar with.

We can suggest resources to address needs we observe and that she tells us about. We visit as often as you or she wants and monitor how she is doing, to avoid a crisis or hospitalization.

 

Does your mom have Alzheimer's disease?

Is she still living independently?

Does she want to stay at home, but you know she is at risk?

Do you feel guilty considering a move for her but don't know whether she can safely remain in her home?

LIFE can assess the level of risk and help you decide if staying at home is feasible. If she can remain at home, LIFE can explain what options exist to keep her safe there. LIFE can also screen, arrange and monitor home care and coordinate outside socialization for her.

 

Do you and your sibling disagree on what help dad needs?

Does your brother think it's time for dad to move to an assisted living facility, while you think he can stay at home?

How do you decide? Siblings often need professional advice to help make a decision like this.

LIFE can provide that neutral, professional opinion that guides the family.

If a move is the best idea, LIFE can assist with choosing the right senior housing facility or orchestrate the transition from one home to another.

If staying at home and "aging in place" is feasible, we can coordinate that process instead.

 

Are you an only child who has the primary responsibility of taking care of your elderly parent?

LIFE can share that responsibility by meeting with your loved one, assessing his/her needs and then putting appropriate resources into place right away.
