Question : When I talk to
my mom on the phone she often sounds depressed. Is this just a normal part of growing
older?
Answer : No. While some elders do
suffer from depression, many others who seem depressed are simply lonely and bored.
Regular visits from caregivers, like those from First Choice Eldercare give them
someone to talk to and do things with and can have a very beneficial effect on their
emotional health.
Question : When I try to do my mother’s
laundry or clean up her kitchen she gets annoyed with me. Wouldn’t she feel
the same about a First Choice caregiver doing the same thing?
Answer : In our experience, many
older people resent feeling like their children have become their caregivers. This
"role reversal" is very hard on their self-esteem. Having a well-trained
professional from First Choice perform these tasks is much more comfortable for
them
