Problems with Assisted Living

from Aging Parent TrapX · host Allison Newlon, Gen Xer with an Aging Parent & Realtor Greater Tampa Bay area

What happens AFTER you move your aging parent into assisted living? You hope Mom or Dad will be safe, happy and well cared for. But then the questions start. How often do they get a shower? Who does their laundry? Who cleans their room? What happens on weekends and holidays? And one of the biggest questions of all: What happens when your parent gets sick? In this episode of Aging Parent Trap X, Allison, Nikki and Julie talk about the problems with assisted living that families may not anticipate until after their parent moves in. Allison also shares what happened when her mom became sick over a New Year's holiday weekend and couldn't access the medical care the family expected would be available. It's a real-life example of why Gen X adult children still need to ask questions and advocate for their aging parents, even after they've moved into senior living. If you're helping an elderly parent navigate assisted living, senior living, downsizing or leaving the family home, this episode is for you. 🎥 Want to see the full conversation?
