Caring for aging parents can be a rewarding yet challenging journey, especially when they are hesitant to accept assistance.

It’s not uncommon for older adults to feel a sense of pride or independence that makes them resistant to help, even when it’s needed.

As caregivers, it’s important to approach these conversations with empathy and understanding. Listen as Dr. Barry Jacobs, clinical psychologist and national caregiving expert, provides insight to help ease the transition on the ComForConnections podcast: https://ow.ly/Zwuw50WhEN5

Psychologist Dr. Barry Jacobs joins ComForConnections to help caregivers navigate tough conversations with aging parents who resist help.

As of mid-2024, nearly 7.8 million Canadians (20% of the population) are 65+, a figure projected to reach 25% by 2030. Older adults face high rates of chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension) and mobility challenges. Falls affect 32–42% of those 70+, costing healthcare $5.6 billion yearly.

Yet, only 15% of Canadians access physiotherapy annually, and Canada trails OECD peers—requiring 62% more physiotherapists to meet international averages. Evidence shows physiotherapy boosts strength, balance, and function while reducing chronic disease burdens.
