Are you a caregiver for elderly parents?

As part of the sandwhich generation, many of us are required to care for elderly parents. Sometimes we need some help and have to start looking for professional caregivers to help us. Some options are nursing homes, home care, senior day cares, and assisted living facilities. Of course, different levels of service come with different price tags. Sometimes it is very obvious which choice is right for us, but sometimes the decision can be very difficult.

Many adult children of senior parents just do not even know where to start looking for help. Hello, Internet! You can fill out a short elder care survey and find over 50,000 elder care businesses all over the US! Find Elder Care Online.

Some Things to Think About:

Do you need 24 hour senior care, or just somebody to watch an elderly person while you are at work?
Would you be comfortable with having your aging parents in an establishment, or would they rather stay at home?
Does the elderly person have any long term care insurance for nursing homes, assisted living, or home health care? Is there a budget set aside for a senior care facility. If not, don’t panic yet. Many nursing care and elder care facilities can help you apply for aid, and they are very good at it!

Some things our elder care survey can help you with:

Eldercare Residence (e.g. assisted living, nursing home, independent living or senior community)

Home Services and/or Products that will allow you or the person you are concerned about to continue to live safely at home (e.g. non-medical homecare, home healthcare, companionship, adult daycare, transportation, household support services)

Both Eldercare Residence and In-Home Options (Provide me with options for both senior housing and in-home services)

Medical Equipment and/or Eldercare Products (e.g. home medical products, durable medical equipment, ambulatory aids, hearing aids, personal medical alarms)

Advisory and/or Consultative Services (e.g. elder law/legal, financial/investment advice, estate planning, long term care planning, care management, family counseling, placement support)
