Trying to find the perfect holiday gift for seniors, who have accumulated so many “things” over the years, can be a challenge. While it’s always nice to receive a candle, new tie, or food item, we have a creative suggestion to consider instead: the gift of in-home care.

The need for home care services, at least initially, is often a gray area. Family members may begin to notice subtle changes in their older loved ones, such as increased forgetfulness, a slower pace, or difficulty with some everyday tasks. Yet they often hesitate to raise the topic of receiving help at home – whether from a sense of wanting to deny that the need exists, or a fear of upsetting the senior, who may be opposed to the idea or feel as though freedom and independence will be threatened, or both.
