Elder Care in [Your Service Area]
Steve Gauthier
My wife and I want to stay in our home. ABC Care Management found a great home care company to help out. Plus we are now working with a contractor to make our house easier for "aging in place." This was exactly what we needed. We are so relieved we don't need to move!
Sarah Woods
The hospital only gave us 24 hour notice to find a place for Mom before she was discharged. ABC Care Management was able to help us find the best one and smooth the transition. We would have been lost without them!
Chelsea Jacobs
Dad has dementia and I didn't know how burned out I was. ABC Care Management was able to teach me some strategies to reduce his outbursts. Plus they found a program so I could get some time off. I can't recommend them highly enough. I got my life back!
Strategies for better aging
Should you move (closer to your kids)?
The most common reason to move in later years is to be closer to children and grandchildren. Regardless of your reason for relocating, unless you plan to live with family, there will be many hours of the day when you are just plain newbies in town. How will you spend your time? If proximity to younger kin is compelling your thoughts, clarify the role you want to play and see if it’s a shared vision.
“My kids treat me like a bank”
When an adult child asks for money, it’s hard to say no. You want to respond to a need. But perhaps your child perceives that you don’t need all you have, or that they’re simply requesting some of their inheritance, just a bit early. Before you answer, ask for time to think it over.
