Wise parent planning

Their comes a time when parents need to be wise and plan for change; it can be a time for different perspectives and new approaches. Decisions must be taken - some decisions involve little thought while others require serious consideration.

It is likely that the serious decisions will involve personal care, long-term care accommodation, safeguards and independence.

A time of change
A time of change: Mathew – “Looking back I wondered how our family ever got through those times. If we did have a plan, it was hope for the best, one day at a time. If there was a big picture, we didn't have time to look…just getting through the day was difficult enough.”

The good life
The good life: Annie – “All I want is a good night’s sleep and a bit of a break. I guess, what I am really saying is that I am looking forward to a time where I can do a few things for myself… it has been full on caring for Annie.”
