Parental
Care |
When the time comes that the roles reverse, and the child must care for the parent, adjustments have to be made on both sides. It is often as difficult for the parent to accept as it is for the child to accommodate the great changes necessary to caring for someone with very limited capabilities.
For some people, caring for the parent means having them in their home. For others, care in a nursing facility is required. Either choice can be very difficult, and our purpose is not to elevate one choice above the other, but to encourage and support those who make the choice to be actively involved in the care and well-being of their parents when the needs increase, no matter how they choose to do it. Adjusting, and eventually letting go are difficult things to do, and at some point, it may be necessary to place the well-being of the parent above the desires of the caregiver.
