Currently Playing: Proactive Eldercare Crisis Prevention: Identifying Changes Before An Elderly Parent's Health Fails

Proactive eldercare crisis prevention involves identifying subtle changes in an elderly parent's activity level before their health declines. If you are a caregiver wondering why your elderly parent is doing less and less, ask why. If Mom or Dad won't leave the house, ask why there's a change in behavior so you can be proactive in preventing a health crisis. Elderly parents may not have the insight to notice weight loss, changes in appetite, or depression that can contribute to doing less and less. Unless children ask, parents may not want to share personal concerns, such as incontinence or bowel problems, that may be embarrassing. Yet it's these little problems that can turn into an eldercare crisis if not shared with a primary care physician to develop a solution. In this video, caregiving expert Pamela D. Wilson shares stories about how behavioral changes in elderly parents can indicate early health problems that can be addressed or managed before a full-blown eldercare health care crisis happens.
