Seniors who receive professional home care after a hospital stay are significantly LESS likely to be readmitted.

That’s because consistent support at home helps prevent the small issues like missed medications, falls, or poor nutrition that can quickly lead back to the ER.

💛 With professional care, families gain:

✅ Help following discharge instructions
✅ Medication reminders and meal support
✅ Safety checks to prevent falls or injuries
✅ Companionship and daily supervision

💬 Worried about how to bring up the topic of help with your parent?

Many families hesitate to start the conversation, but the how matters as much as the what. Here are a few practical steps that make it easier:

1️⃣ Choose the right moment. Pick a peaceful time to talk, when your parent feels relaxed and heard.

2️⃣ Use “I” statements. Try “I’ve noticed you seem tired lately, and I’d love to help,” instead of “You need help.”

3️⃣ Start small. Suggest trying support with one task: meal prep, errands, or light housekeeping, and go from there.

At Golden Care, we help families navigate these conversations every day. Our caregivers make it easy for seniors to accept help without losing independence or comfort. 💛

One of the hardest conversations adult children face is suggesting extra care for their parents.

Here are 3 gentle ways to approach the conversation:

1️⃣ Start with empathy – Acknowledge their feelings and fears first.
2️⃣ Focus on independence – Explain that care is there to support their freedom, not take it away.
3️⃣ Suggest a trial period – Sometimes experiencing care for a short time helps seniors see the benefits for themselves.
