Making
How to Keep Yourself and Your
Elderly Parents Comfortable Under One Roof
As we grew older, they became our
confidants, mending broken hearts
and welcoming us home with love.
From dying our hair blue, maxing out
a credit card, dating disasters, and
any other poor decision we've made,
our parents somehow walked us
through it all.
Most of us remember our parents as superheroes. Mom could fight off illnesses with a
bowl of soup, Dad battled boogeymen on a regular basis with pleasure, and neither of them
would admit anything in regards to the Santa Claus mystery.
Space:
But life takes a toll on even the
strongest and seemingly most
invincible. If a parent (or any loved
one) has recently fallen ill, or is
simply getting older and a little more
dependent, you've probably run the
idea of moving them in with you
through your mind more than once.
Before you reverse the roles and
assume your position as the new
superhero, consider the time and
dedication it will require. Prepare
yourself, your family and your house,
so that when moving day arrives,
both you and your parents remain as
comfortable as possible.
