In the hustle and bustle of the holidays, no one wants to have a difficult conversation, like one that addresses a senior loved one’s in-home care needs. However, if you’ve noticed changes in a family member or friend during a seasonal visit, this may be the perfect time to discuss whether or not extra care is required in the home. With family and friends around for support, try opening up the conversation with these tips:

Infuse all conversations with a sense of caring, reminding the senior that you want him or her to be safe, happy, and healthy and that you want to work with him or her to figure out the right plan. Be patient and don’t expect to come to a conclusion about care right away.
