Importance of Family
The actor, David Ogden Stiers, defines family as a unit where “no one gets left behind or forgotten.” People may have a family or choose to select a nuclear unit as a family. What continues to be important is to receive close, trusted, personal support as one age. Personal and medical histories are significant when processing decisions, therefore we should involve family and friends to formulate plans for the future when necessary.
Benefits of Family Support for Seniors
Emotional support from relatives or peers helps Seniors be positive about transitioning to Independent, Assisted, Memory Assisted, or Long-Term Care. Everyone has experienced “firsts” in life and a major lifestyle change becomes much more inviting when others point out positives rather than negatives.
When communication is difficult due to a diagnosis or language barrier, the family helps “fill in the blanks.” Having a trusted “relative” act as an advocate is beneficial in times of stress or crisis.
