The final post for National Elder Law month is focused on communication. The key to making senior care work both at home and in the workplace is thoughtful, honest and open communication. Don't know where to start? Watch "How to Talk to Your Loved Ones About Elder Law and Preplanning". It can be helpful to think about what it is like to be in the other person's shoes. Seniors, remember the challenges you faced when taking care of your own parents. Adult children, take some time to think about how you hope your children will treat you when the time comes. Also remember that planning takes time and often many revisions. It is not realistic to resolve everything in just a few conversations. Take small steps.
Communication is also important when it comes to caretakers in the workplace. Adult children are often juggling careers, their personal life, and senior care. Employers and employees alike need to consider and understand the challenges each faces. In "Employers and Caregiving Employees", Foster Swift elder law attorneys provide perspective on how having open dialogue and clear communication of policies can have a positive impact on the work environment for everyone.
