Read MoreAt 74, Sarah wakes up each morning and goes through her regular routine. Sure, her arthritis makes the first few steps painful, but she has learned how to adapt.It wasnt too long ago that she was working full time, and before that running a house full of children. Life has been full of the need to adapt, and Sarah has always conquered her new challenges.Jessie is Sarahs daughter. She lives out of town, is working and raising her family. On her last trip home, she noticed that her Mom was not getting around as easily as before and she started to worry about her being on her own.Jessie decided to get Sarah a personal emergency response system, or emergency button, in case she had a fall. It will bring you peace of mind in case something happens when you are alone, she said. But, Sarah keeps the button in her desk drawer. The idea of accidentally hitting it and having the paramedics knock down her door did not bring Sarah peace of mind, it brought on more anxiety.The things that bring peace of mind to a loved one, isnt necessarily what brings peace of mind to the senior. We all have different motivations and priorities. Understanding that when communicating will help families find a comfortable middle ground that meets everyones needs.What is it that truly brings your loved one their own peace of mind? For Sarah, it was connection to her children. Using technology to check in on her made it seem like her children wanted to use the tools instead of talking to her. It made her feel like a problem that Jessie wanted to solve. But, for her daughter, it was a way to make sure that her Mom was safe because she wasnt close by.Taking the time to talk through your own personal motivations and not projecting your feelings onto the senior will help them understand why the safety measures are important to you. Likewise, getting the senior to talk about how the help makes them feel, will allow for open communication and can ultimately lead to compromises that work for everyone.For Sarah and Jessie, they compromised that they would start each day with a quick good morning phone call as a check in, and Sarah agreed to wear the button when she was going up and down the stairs to the basement to do laundry, bringing everyone their own personal peace of mind.Editors Note: This article was submitted by Dana Jessup, CSA, CADDCT, CDP.

Read MoreThats what my mom said repeatedly when I tried totalk to her about her need for more medical care and socialization. She openly admitted to being stubborn and uncooperative but the obvious decline in her mental and physical health made it impossible to avoid the conversation AGAIN! She was diagnosed with dementia, depressed and isolated except for my almost silent dad and his caregiving. He was exhausted and long ago resigned to avoiding conversations/questions that resulted in a fruitless loop or caused her to erupt in anger I would say, Mom, you know were headed for a crisis over your care. She would reply once more, Im not leaving; Ill die at home. What she did not know is that only about 30% of Older Adults are able to die at home. (Study by New England Journal of Medicine) The majority of us will eventually need a team of medical/non-medical care-givers around the clock to keep us safe and living our best quality of life.And then it happened! Dad tripped over a chair in the kitchen, fell and broke his hip. Off to the hospital for Dad and off to a pre-identified Community for mom. The crisis made all three of us children drop everything for weeks and deal simultaneously with Dad, Mom and their house. It was exhausting!!! FOR EVERYONE.After moving to a Senior Community we began to see a change in mom. She no longer seemed depressed and acted much happier being around people. She wentout for ice-cream and lunch. With regular med- management, nutritious meals and socialization she noticeably improved It happens often. People refuse to move to a Community out of fear and stubbornness. The exhibited independence that served them well earlier in life now becomes a hindrance to their well-being.Senior Placement Companies understand this and are equipped to help your family/loved one make a much needed transition to an Adult Community. Avoiding a long, exhausting crisis is far better than waiting for an emergency. Their service is free!
