Currently Playing: Family Caregiving Discussions With Elderly Parents Who Refuse

Is it time for family caregiving discussions with an elderly parent who refuses everything? Learn how to identify refusals and resistance by elderly parents in this video from caregiving expert Pamela D Wilson. Wilson shares three insights on elderly parents who refuse. Plus three potential actions caregivers can take to deal with people who refuse help that may include elderly parents, a spouse, or grandparents. Learn how to respond empathetically yet firmly with loved ones in your life who refuse help, refuse to help themselves, and refuse all suggestions. Family caregivers can fall into a similar trap of refusals when they refuse to consider how their behaviors made elderly parents dependent on them, and the caregiver, themself, refuses suggestions that can help their situation.
