Of course we want to support our aging parents’ independence as long as possible. But what we don’t want is for a crisis to hit and find us unprepared. At http://www.active seniors in transition we help boomers prepare in advance for the changes ahead.

You should absolutely talk to your elder and have them help make decisions if they are able. If not they are going to resent you and think that you are just butting in their lives. However; if your elderly parent is unable to help with the decision, take the time to explain to them why you decided what you did and try to make them undersand your decision process. The still may resent you, but you can always say that you did your best – which is what elder care is all about.
