Caring For Elderly Parents At Home
Here at Family Annexe, we understand that all you want is what is best for your family. As your parents get older, you might notice them struggling more and that they might be a little slower or get exhausted more easily than they used to.
It could be that your parent is ill or can no longer manage in their own home. If your parents can’t live on their own anymore but they don’t want or need to be in a care home then you might want to think about caring for elderly parents at home.
Why Care For Your Elder Parents Home?
If your parents are struggling to cope on their own then you’re probably thinking of ways you can help them out and make their lives easier. Your parents will likely have to move out of their home at some point. If they are struggling with a lot of stairs, have a lot of rooms going unused or if they live too far away from you then you might want to discuss relocation.
A care home is an option if you find your loved one can no longer live without support, but it’s not for everyone. Moving into a care home can make your parent feel like they are losing a sense of independence and they probably won’t want to go.
If a parent moves into a care home this might also mean you are restricted to when you can see them, a lot of care homes have strict visiter times and you have to arrange to take them out from day which can hinder your parent’s social life and limit the time you and your family get to spend with them.
If you want to be there for your loved one but worry about them struggling on their own in a big house or living too far away for you to keep an eye on them, you might want to try a granny annexe
What Is A Granny Annexe?
A granny annexe is a small extension to your house, usually a small building or large shed that is built in your garden. This way your parents can still live with you on your property but don’t have to worry about invading your space and being a burden in the family home.
A granny annexe serves as a smaller, more functional house for the elderly.
