Talking With Parents About a Lifestyle Change
In our ongoing effort to help our "Baby Boomer” clients deal with the transitional issues associated with aging parents, Parc Communities is dedicated to sharing its experience in a broad spectrum of matters. As usual, we will always refer to your loved one as "Mom” even though we know that you may very well be inquiring about your Dad. This month’s "For Boomer’s Only” is dedicated to a question that is posed to us virtually every day. That question is along the following lines:
"My siblings and I are certain that the Parc Communities lifestyle is exactly what Mom needs. Unfortunately, she is very set in her ways. How do we persuade her that moving to a Parc Community is the right thing to do?”
The answer to this question is always the same, "We don’t exactly know.” What we do know is that the "persuasion” is a process which varies dramatically from one situation to another. We also know that every Parc Communities resident has ultimately made the decision to join our community because of one or more of the following lifestyle challenges:
1. Security – "Living alone has become scary.”
Even though not having someone to respond to a fall or a medical emergency is their primary concern, many seniors begin to visualize themselves as victims of home invasions, robberies, etc. even if they live in a comparatively safe setting. The anxiety caused by these fears is extremely detrimental to your Mom’s well being.
