With every passing day, the role of the family caregiver increases in importance. As our elder loved ones reach the point they are no longer able to care for themselves, adult children gradually assume more and more responsibility for their wellbeing.
More and more Boomers are finding themselves alone in the world. Whether through choice or adverse circumstances, they find themselves in the same boat—and that boat is: who will look after them when they can no longer look after themselves?
When looking at assisted living communities, are Boomers thinking to themselves, “Gee, Mom and Dad are going to love it here. It has all the amenities they could ask for. But there’s no way in h&%# I’m ever going to live here!”
The next time you think, “I remember my Dad saying that,” don’t be surprised. As difficult as it is to believe now, one day your kids will be saying the very same thing. It happens to all of us at some point. It isn’t good, it isn’t bad, it’s just life!
In the late 60s and early 70s, Boomers set out to change the world, and the world was changed forever. As one, they protested, marched and spoke out for whatever they passionately believed was right. Then something happened.
Having family meetings to plan elder care gives families a chance to communicate issues and concerns on a regular basis, to make educated and appropriate choices—and to bond and develop relationships at a new level.
Many gift givers have the perception that as we age, we accumulate everything we need in life. In some cases that may be so; but just because we get older doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy or appreciate a meaningful and well-thought-out gift.
We have an almost obsessive need to put things and people in nice neat little boxes with a name on each. Then we assume that everyone in that box thinks, learns, talks and acts, and therefore is the same. That's what's happening with the generations.
