When it's time to "talk" with your parents about their parents from the decision?Mother in the early eighties, and his father, who was two years older with medical conditions, require treatment for more and more that your mother is ready to be done, but not the power they once did. They lived in the same house 35 years and they are very happy. What if, God forbid, something happened to her, fall, heart attack or something and it can not be critical of the father when they need it for? And what if he did not know what happened to her?
We want our parents to respect and not forced, but sometimes we need them to navigate their results from aging. This will help to be able to see or even remotely to check things good in the main house. In today's world of technology, gadgets and devices now available to enable us to all the blood pressure of our parents for what time they wake up and go to the bathroom every night watch. Motion detectors, fall detectors and windows and doors built into the alert system to help us feel calm too.We can touch them with simple methods, automatic and have a virtual dinner with our parents - visual - even if we are 1000 miles with a product called a vital link.
To do this type of monitoring, however, mean lifestyle changes, or if your parents can feel. To listen to the clips to watch, necklace or belt, or have to check in daily with a computer video-not a eighty-year-old who want to. The reality is that while there is the possibility of the death of the elderly, as we do not see a bigger concern is that they suffer an accident that will weaken the disconnect them from their independence. A decrease the elderly have a greater potential for people in wheelchairs because the bones more brittle. A heart attack or stroke can be treated and rehabilitated so much better if caught in a short period of operation.
So having a conversation with your parents, what can you do to help them with their age and not the results. With a little time and effort, you can delete all the dangerous skid carpet, install Handrails in the bathroom, putting nightlights in the bathroom, hallway and kitchen and prepare their homes for aging in place. This will complete the purchase of the home monitoring system if you can give them to agree to it. By ensuring that the assistance would press the remote button, and you can sleep better at night, plus they promise to stay in their homes as long as possible, it makes sense for both of you. You will be glad you did.
