|
| THE STORY | | | Families need encouragement in caring for elderly members. It helps to understand what elderly people are going through in order to provide the individual care they need and will respond to in healthy ways. | | | |
|
| WHAT I NEED TO KNOW FIRST … | | | |  | There is no magic number that defines when someone has finally reached “old age.” | | | | Elderly people are very active in making decisions about their living environments and about their own lives. | | | | Elderly people want to preserve their independence and self-respect. They are often more flexible and adaptable to change than we give them credit for. | | | | |
