Caring for an elderly person at home requires an agreement and a loving compromise between the people who have a bond with the grandparent they wish to offer a dignified life in his/her last years.
The decision to keep the relative within the home warmth implies to give him an active role to play within the family, beyond physical limitations, health ailments or neurological diseases.
It is a team work and the more people involved in the caring tasks the better the environment will be for the elder and the caregiver.
However, unexpected events may happen: personal problems, lifestyles changes or the absence of practical professional knowledge for dealing with particular situations.
With the same love and wisdom we need to take care of our older relatives, it is necessary to consider that when we need help, we must look for good professionals who understand the love we feel for those who are pillars of our family.
