Video Tip: The Balancing Act of Senior Care
It’s important for caregivers to treat their seniors as adults and respect the fact that they get to make their own decisions – even if they’re bad decisions.
This might include allowing them to smoke or drink, or even eat sweets as a diabetic.
Caregivers should be conscious to not try to take away quality and comfort during this season of life.
Trying to keep seniors from bad choices may end up adding a week of life at the end, but at the expense of enjoying their remaining days.
