The Danger of Delaying Senior Care

Transitioning a loved one into a care community can be challenging for both you and them, but it’s imperative not to delay the process. Many people set aside the idea of senior care for various reasons, whether that be the increasing cost of care services or the hassle of moving. Although the subject is sensitive, it shouldn’t be pushed aside. Thoroughly planning and researching your care options before you’re at a point where it’s urgently needed allows more options to be readily available to you. 

Delayed care is common, and many seniors also contribute to the delay because they believe they are not yet in a position where they need it, they don’t want to lose their independence, or they don’t want the hassle of moving. These reasons for delaying care are understandable, but you can’t underestimate the risks associated with them. Some risks include neglecting medical needs such as adequate food and water intake and proper medicine intake as well as health complications from underlying conditions, which can lead to a greater need for care. 


Many people think they’ll simply wait to pursue senior care, that they aren’t ready for it yet, or they’ll believe they don’t need the assistance. And while those may be true for today, they may not be true for the near future, which is why planning is so important, and further delays can diminish your options moving forward. You don’t want to end up in a situation where your loved one had a fall and wound up in the hospital and needs senior living and you have no idea where to start. While advisors and care managers are experts and can assist in these urgent situations, it has many pitfalls. Limited time creates limited resources when you’re in a time crunch to choose what works best for you. It’s important to not put off senior care until the point of dire necessity or emergency, rather it’ll be more beneficial to know of the resources available to you. Don’t limit your choices, be proactive for the health and well-being of your loved ones.
