Are you caring for your aging parents? If so, a time will probably come in the near future when your parents are no longer able to take adequate care of themselves. You and your siblings will have to make a decision on what to do with your Mom or Dad. The best solution is usually to transfer them to the professional care of a quality elder care solution in your neighborhood. But how do you select a quality elder care solution? Let us browse through these available options:

Home stay: If you are caring for your aging parents, you will probably notice that the Home Stay option is usually the most recommended elder care solution. Staying at home is the best elder care solution because your parents are most comfortable when staying in familiar environment. They do not have to re-orient themselves to a new place. If you select this option, professionals will visit your parents on a weekly or daily basis (based on options selected) and ensure they are well taken care of. You can also opt to receive regular reports so you are always in the picture.

Moving in with a family member: If you are caring for your aging parents, then it is quite likely that you and your siblings will know your parents better than anyone else. You know their habits, you know what you dad or mom likes, what they prefer to have for breakfast and so on. Besides, your parents would probably love to stay with you more than anywhere else especially if you have small kids. Staying with one of the children is the next best recommended elder care solution because experts see it as a win-win elder care solution. Your kids get doting grand-parents and your parents will get love and care of two generations of children. Professionals in quality elder care solution can offer professional care but such care seldom includes love and affection of the kind that only children can offer.

Community support: Community support is a quality elder care solution you should consider provided your parents are not too old to move around on their own. If you are caring for your aging parents, you should know that in this type of elder care solution, elderly people live together in communities that are supported by medical and related services. The support is available on a need-to-use basis. All the same, if you are caring for your aging parents, you might want to consider community support as a quality elder care solution because the entire complex is pro-elderly; the parks, malls etc. are designed to be elder-friendly, the entire complex is typically a no-noise zone, and is usually located at a scenic spot.

Assisted community support: This is identical to Community support except, there are a lot of “optional” services your parents can opt for. For example, for an additional fee, the services of a medical attendant can be secured. Based on options selected the medical attendant might visit your parents once, twice or multiple times during the day. The attendant will visit your parents to make sure they have taken their daily medication, prepare the bath water, and ensure optimal heating or air-conditioning. Meal services are also available. These days most community supported elder care solutions tend to be “assisted”. So if you are caring for your aging parents, you might want to consider assisted community support over just community supported elder care solutions.

Assisted community support with Nursing facility:This is the most ideal of community supported elder care solutions. If you are caring for your aging parents, you might want to consider this option because, not only does it include all the benefits of assisted community support, it also optionally provides 24 x 7 Medicare. This is ideal for elders suffering from Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases that require constant attention.
