Helping Aging Parents Stay At Home

As your parents get older, it can be tough to watch them struggle. You want to make sure they have everything they need—and they may wish to remain independent for as long as possible. For families in Kalamazoo, it can help to make a concrete plan for aging at home. That way, if your loved one needs in home care services or other support, it can be set up now rather than later. 

At Visiting Angels® Southwest Michigan, we help families navigate this time in life. Let's take a look at what you should consider. 

3 Tips For Supporting An Aging Family Member in Kalamazoo

When you're trying to help a family member age in place, you may not know where to start. Here are a few tips to ensure they can live safely, comfortably, and easily at home: 

  • Discuss their current situation. It helps to have a clear understanding of your loved one's health, their current living situation, and their day-to-day life. Do they eat balanced meals and practice any form of exercise? Do they have friends nearby? Do they have a health team? All of this can give you a better picture of where they may need help, either now or a couple of years from now. 
  • Talk about the future. While this conversation may be more difficult, it's important to know how they want the future to look. Do they want to remain at home no matter what? What happens if their physical or cognitive health changes? If things change down the line, it helps to already have an understanding of your parent's wishes. That way, you can always make sure they're looked after on their terms.  
  • Think about incorporating support. If your parent doesn't already have support in place, it may be worthwhile to consider in home care services. Even if they only need a little help every week, starting senior care early can make it easier to scale up this kind of support. For seniors in Kalamazoo, our caregivers can also keep an eye out for any changes in health or well-being—and keep your family updated.
