No man or woman, regardless
of his or her age,
wants to consider that a
day may come when they need
to rely on loved ones to help
them perform everyday activities.
But every day, tens of
millions of people serve as unpaid
caregivers for their aging
friends or family members.
A 2015 survey from the National
Alliance for Caregiving
and AARP found that approximately
34.2 million people had
provided unpaid care to an
adult age 50 or older in the last
12 months. Many unpaid caregivers
are pulling double duty,
caring for their aging parents
while also raising families of
their own.
While there’s no guarantee
that aging men and women
will require care, caregivers
fi gure to become more necessary
as life expectancies increase.
In fact, recent years
have seen the senior population
in the United States exceed
50 million for the fi rst
time in the country’s history,
and fi gures from the U.S. Census
Bureau suggest that fi gure
will continue to rise until
2029.
Men and women who are
preparing to welcome an aging
loved one into their homes
may wonder how to make that
transition go smoothly, especially
if they have young children
at home. The following
are some tips that can help
families prepare to welcome
an aging friend or family
member into their homes:
Speak with your loved
one’s physicians. Speak with
an aging loved one’s physicians
so you can get a complete
picture of their physical and
mental condition. This can
give you an accurate depiction
of how much care your loved
one needs now and how much
they might need in the future
if their condition worsens.

of your loved one’s physical
and mental condition and
before this person moves into
your home, discuss it with
your family. Adding a new
member to your household
will affect everyone, so each
member of the family, including
young children, should
be included when discussing
how the family dynamic will
change. Parents must recognize
that even young children
may be asked to make sacrifi
ces to accommodate aging
loved ones. Explain these sacrifi
ces in advance and how important
it is to make an aging
loved one feel welcome when
they move in.
Discuss conditions with
children. Children may recognize
their grandparents
or elderly loved ones have
physical limitations, but they
likely won’t understand conditions
such as dementia or
Alzheimer’s disease. Parents
can ask a physician about how
to explain cognitive decline
to young children. Children
may not recognize cognitive
decline as readily as adults, so
parents may need to discuss
these conditions with their
children periodically and/or
if the conditions worsen.
Millions of people across
the globe welcome aging loved
ones into their homes when
they can no longer care for
themselves. Such caregiving
changes family dynamics, and
these changes should be discussed
before and after a loved
one moves in.
