Should You Quit Your Job to Take Care of Mom?!

05 Apr 2024

Description

With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day, many families are facing difficult decisions about eldercare. Is it cruel to move your loved one out of their home into an assisted living facility? In this episode, we’ll explore the compassionate and practical reasons why you want to consider this option. Most dual-income households simply cannot afford to quit jobs to provide 24/7 at-home care. At the same time, the costs of hiring an outside caregiver can equal those of assisted living facilities, which provide specialized senior housing and trained support staff. Retrofitting a home for senior living needs is also prohibitive, as adding ramps, walk-in showers, etc., takes both time and money. And for those attempting to be full-time caregivers, the physical and emotional strain can damage health and relationships.The choice to move a senior loved one into assisted living is complex and emotional. But with trained professionals, specialized care, and social engagement, these facilities allow families to ensure their loved ones’ needs are met with dignity. As the sandwich generation struggles with competing priorities, assisted living often emerges as a difficult yet caring solution. There are no easy answers, but understanding the rationale behind this choice is the first step.🎓 Ready to turn your passion into profit?
