Helping Aging Parents

As your parents age and need assistance with life's tasks – anything from balancing a checkbook to dealing with insurance claims – its hard to know how to take charge, without taking over. How do you help your parent, without making them feel as if they're losing their independence? How do you get the job done without condescending, or making them angry?

Caring for older relatives

Looking after an older disabled relative can have practical, financial and emotional challenges. But help and support is available. 

Even though you might see yourself as a wife, husband, partner, sibling, daughter or son, it's important to recognise that you are still caring for someone. NHS Choices provides a variety of useful resources to help support carers.
