Senior Care in Tulsa County

Helping Your Loved Ones Accept Caregiving Help

At Visiting Angels^® Tulsa, we provide senior care for residents of Tulsa County. Our in-home service can provide many terrific benefits for your loved one. We can protect them from home accidents, promote a healthier lifestyle, and assist with a wide variety of tasks to make their life easier. Most importantly, we can help them avoid moving to a care facility and remain in their familiar home. 

Despite all of these benefits, we understand how many seniors can be apprehensive about inviting a caregiver into their home. To help you ease their concerns and allow them to make the right decision, we would like to offer some tips on talking to your loved one. 

It is important to remember that this situation can be very uncomfortable for them. Seniors have a lot of pride, and when they begin to require daily care, this can be a bit embarrassing for them. They don't want to feel like a burden, so it's vital to frame the situation in a more positive light. 

A huge concern for many seniors, is that the transition to having a caregiver around signifies a loss of independence. In reality, securing in-home care is a great way to preserve independence as they age. Moving to a care facility will deprive them of the privacy, dignity, and personal comforts of living at home. Make them aware that you are on the same page, and that you are advocating for home care in order to help them remain as independent as possible. 

This situation is not easy for your loved one, so compassion, patience, and sensitivity will really help. Do not put a ton of pressure on them or make them feel coddled in any way. Instead, keep the conversation focused on what's best for their comfort, independence, and overall quality of life.
