A Candid Word to the Spouse or Adult Child

Perhaps all this talk about assisted living communities is attended with twinges of guilt as the spouse or adult child of a senior in need. You wish you could open your own home to a beloved senior, but other commitments and constraints prevent you. Perhaps you are now the caregiver and feel apprehensive about turning that role over to someone else, despite your self-sacrifice taking its toll on your own health and well-being.

Please know we are here not to replace you, but to walk beside you and be a loving presence in your family's life.—all in the hope of being an additional loving presence. And if you allow MorningStar to step into the role of full-time Care Manager, the two of you are free to reestablish a more balanced relationship. Finally relax. Share a laugh. Enjoy each other.
