So you've been spending more time with your loved ones over the festive season and you've noticed their health has started to decline... what now?! In today's episode I talk through what to do when you're concerned that your loved one needs a bit more help.
I discuss how to have the initial convo with your loved one about your concerns, how to get them assessed for additional services, why you should gradually increase services, why you should maximise all home services before going into permanent care, how you can use your respite and what to do when the time comes to go into permanent care.
If you've listened to today's episode and would like some additional help navigating this with your own loved one, send me through an enquiry at www.navigateagedcare.com.au and we can have a chat about how I can help you.
As always, you can find me on Instagram @thetruthaboutageing, on Facebook @thetruthaboutageingpodcast and via my website www.navigateagedcare.com.au.
