Home for the Holidays
The changing color on the trees, the cool crispness in the air and holidays with loved ones are all my favorite things. It is also one of the busiest times for families and senior advisors. As we gather together to celebrate and see our families during the holiday season, it is a good opportunity to take a moment to assess any changes in our loved ones that have gone overlooked. We live very busy lives and it can be difficult to pay attention to subtle changes in a senior’s day to day condition or to detect growing needs over the phone. I advise families to take a moment around the kitchen table and check in with their parents on any challenges that they may be facing. It is important to be sensitive and show respect, and in a loving manner, express your desire to help with any problems while visiting.
