8 Ways to Care from A Distance During the Holidays

Sometimes, you can’t visit your parents during the holidays. You can’t get the time off from your job. You live too far away. You have obligations to your children. You feel guilty. You can show your mom and dad you love and care for them even at a distance.

Assessment Checklist for Your Parents During The Holidays

“Home for the Holidays” takes on a new meaning when you walk into your parents’ home, and it’s filthy. They never raised you to leave opened food jars out or throw your clothes on the floor, but all of a sudden, all these things are happening at your parents’ house.

Don’t Wait to Talk to Your Senior Parents

You love your parents. But the Sunday afternoons you used to spend eating dinner and catching up are now taken up with you or your spouse shoveling the driveway or mowing the lawn. Instead of your dad calling you to ask about your day, he calls to ask you to pick up some prescriptions. You’ve taken to checking their refrigerator each time you go over, because they not only have expired food in there, they’re eating it. The call from the emergency room to your workplace has already occurred once when your mom became dehydrated from the flu. You’re already dreading another call, which you fear could come at any time. Your amazing parents, who took care of you when you were a...

How Much Does It Cost to Live at the Arbors and What Is Included in the Monthly Fee

If you’ve been researching Assisted Living, you’ll notice that The Arbors, like most Assisted Living communities, does not list prices. This is because prices can vary based on your loved one’s needs. If mom or dad needs very little help, you pay a minimum. However, if they require quite a bit of help, we offer it for additional fees. This fee structure is customized to your preferences and needs.

Dealing with Caregiver Guilt

Your parents raised you. They took care of you. They helped you when you needed help. But you can’t do it. You can’t take care of them the way you’d like to. They’re becoming more frail. They’re getting sick more often. You’re worried that they might fall. And they can’t keep up with home maintenance like they did when they were younger. Your lawn is not getting mowed because you’re mowing the lawn at your parents’ house.

8 Tips for Communicating with Your Parent’s Doctor

We all tend to perceive our parents as young and strong and vibrant…until mom falls, dad has a heart attack or some similar occurrence shakes us from our complacency. Then we begin to be concerned. Our very first thought is usually somewhat selfish: I don’t want to lose my mom or dad. The second is usually more about them: How can I make my parents healthier and happier so they’ll be around for a long time?

A Day in the Life of Assisted Living

Do you call your parents every morning to make sure they got up? Do you stop over once a day to ensure they took their medicine? Do you receive calls because your parents can’t find something? Are you hesitant to schedule a vacation with your spouse because you don’t know who’ll take care of Mom and Dad while you’re gone? Imagine never worrying about your parents’ safety again. Imagine seeing them embark on new adventures, learn new skills or pick up old hobbies. Imagine never receiving a frantic call in the middle of a business meeting or having to leave a concert to run to your parents’ home. That reassurance is what Assisted Living is all about.
