Aging At Home
Of course your aging parents prefer to stay at home.
Fortunately, there are things you can do to help them stay safe and independent.
In elder care especially, an ounce of prevention really is worth a pound of cure! Older adults frequently decline after an episode severe enough to cause a hospitalization. Thus, helping prevent a crisis or injury is one of the best ways you can contribute to your aging parents’ health.
Common avoidable causes of hospitalization includes
Confusion about medications
A fall that results in a hip fracture
A car accident
Not recognizing signs of a chronic illness getting worse
