Everybody wants to make their mom and dad happy and well accommodated in their later years. They deserve it. Unfortunately, most people in the US work in shifts. In the hospital or in the health care field that is 11pm-7am, 7am-3pm, and 3pm-11pm. Then, there’s overtime (especially if the boss needs you), and part-time. Some jobs mean you work some hours in the morning, and then in the afternoon. Royal Palm Beach Assisted Living boasts a lot of good facilities to put up with your aging parents. One of which is the Court Yard Gardens Senior Living. Read this to see if it is the perfect time to visit Senior Living.
Worsening Conditions
As people age, the likelihood they grow chronic mental and medical conditions rises steeply. The AARP reported that more than sixty-five million people (aged 50 and older) have at least one chronic condition. These can be draining issues like heart disease or Alzheimer’s disease. When elders with conditions like this get older, they need more medical attention because they are less capable of taking care of themselves. Another issue than chronic conditions, the possibility for medical emergencies increases with age. If your parents indicate that they have fallen and struggled to get up on more than one time, it’s harmful to them to be living on their own. Nearly one-third of seniors fall at least once every year, and the death rate for falls has climbed steadily in the past decade.
Money talks
Many aging loved ones have less of a capacity to keep up with all their financial duties. Bills from insurance, loans, and banks can pile up because seniors either have the enthusiasm to pay them. Dementia and other related mental issues also affect seniors’ ability to think conceptually and handle numbers on a complex level. This can lead to complications when taking care of multiple bills at one time especially when they do taxes. They are also often vulnerable to financial scams, whether it be from telemarketers or, sadly, their family members. The scams can place them in devastating financial spaces, which can hinder them from taking care of themselves—if they live in their own home or not.
No man is an island
Senior isolation is a real problem. More than ten million seniors live alone, according to the U.S. Census, and separation from family can affect seniors’ overall health. When seniors isolate themselves, that means they reduce how frequently they participate in things like social interactions with family and friends, hobbies, or just simply leaving the house at all. Some health issues associated with isolation include depression, addiction, and morality.
