    How to Help Your Parent Age in Place From Halfway Across The World

    How to Help Your Parent Age in Place From Halfway Across The WorldWhen your parent chooses to age in place, it is essential that you respect that decision. However, it can be difficult to support their choice when you live on the other side of the country, or even in a different country. You may have a number of concerns, but before you fly out to see your parents, look over these options and suggestions. You may find that you can be connected with your loved ones and be sure of their safety, even if you don’t live close by.

    Become an Investigator

    You don’t need a private investigator’s license to investigate your parent’s life, nor do you need to sit in an unmarked car down the street taking photographs. You do need to discover if your parents can reasonably live on their own without needing daily assistance. Ask for their permission and then give their doctors a call. When talking to the doctors, your questions should be focused on quality of life, capability of living alone and anything else that you may be concerned about.

    After speaking to the doctor, you will need to investigate the home. If you can’t drop by the home because you are far away, ask a neighbor or a relative to go for you. They will need to look for tripping hazards, doors that do not open or shut easily or any other problems that your parents may have trouble resolving.

    Put All Important Documents Together

    When you live across the world and you won’t be able to stop by your parents place at a moment’s notice, having a copy of all important documents is essential. These documents include: a living will, a will, power of attorney for emergencies as well as health records. It may also include paperwork like social security cards, bonds and any other financial paperwork such as a copy of mortgage papers or deeds.

    Medical Alert Systems

    After you have gathered all the information you needs, put together important documents, the next and possibly most important step is to invest into a medical alert system. There are dozens of varieties of alert systems. Before you choose, carefully consider exactly what your parents currently need. The best medical alert systems are waterproof, portable and easy to use. A Pioneer medical alert system is catered to your precise needs. Once in place, the Pioneer team will know your parents medical history, needs and is available all day every day of the week.

    A mobile alert system can be tucked into a pocket or a purse so that help is always easy to get, even if your parents are out shopping. Other systems can be locked into the landline in the home, or a wireless account that covers a large home. You and your parents will feel safe, confident and independent with Pioneer watching over your loved ones. Police, emergency medical technicians and other lifesaving personnel are a touch of the button away.

    Helping your parents age in place when you live across the world can be nerve wracking. However, with a bit of planning it can be easy for you and your loved ones. The most important thing is that your parents are safe, their wants are respected and followed and that your relationship stays strong throughout the entire progress. They cared for you your entire life, now it’s time to return the favor.
