Sharing with Your Family

Talking about elderly care centers, whether you are considering it for yourself or a family member, is a sensitive topic. We understand that making such life decisions and accepting this kind of change is not easy.

Many elderly individuals say that a great weight was lifted from their shoulders after deciding how and where they would spend the next chapter of their lives.

If you haven’t previously talked to a family member about elderly care centers, there are a few things you can do to prepare—such as thorough research and making sure the whole family is on the same page…

Preparing for the conversation

You know this conversation about living in an elderly care center needs to happen, but you’re not sure where to start. If this situation makes you uneasy, try to think about how best to prepare for the conversation before you talk to them and break the news.

Whether it is you who will be moving to an elderly care center or your parent, there are several ways to prepare for the conversation.

Right timing to talk with your parent

Perhaps you think your mother would be safer around her peers, or that your father would eat much better if he didn’t struggle with cooking. Or you think they would have a better quality of life in a more social environment where they could make new friends…

Even if you are sure that living in an elderly care center is the right decision, how can you help them see that it is a good option?

Make sure all siblings are in agreement.

If you have multiple siblings, make sure everyone is on the same page before having the conversation with your parent. Since the topic is sensitive, it is important for the conversation to go smoothly. The conversation with the parent may not be a good time to debate certain details. You don’t want anyone to get hurt or upset…

Remember that this is a difficult and sensitive topic.

Aging is a sensitive topic for most people, so try to be extra mindful of your parent’s feelings. Moving to a center means saying goodbye to their home, and leaving memories behind is not easy. Take care to be gentle, sensitive, and understanding.

Prepare a list of your concerns.

Whether your parent asks you or you want to inform them, be prepared to explain why you’ve decided it’s time for your mother/father to consider living in a center. Be very careful not to express this in a way that belittles or makes them feel inadequate. Remember to be respectful and sensitive while expressing that you are concerned about their safety and health.

Put your thoughts on paper.

When the topic of living in an elderly care center comes up, emotions can be overwhelming and you may struggle to find the right words. That’s why you can write a letter to your family. You don’t have to give it to the person in front of you, but taking time to think about which words to use can help you avoid saying the wrong things.
