Tulsa Elder Care- Working With Siblings

With about 14.7%* of Oklahoma’s population above the age of 65, elder care in Tulsa is become increasingly important. More often than not, the responsibility of elder care falls on the shoulders of the siblings who must work together to plan the best way to care for their aging parents. “A Siblings Guide to Caring for Aging Parents” by Bonnie Lawrence from the Family Caregiver Alliance has some great tips for planning for elder care with your family.

Here are our top 3 favorite suggestions from the article:

  1. Organize a family meeting. Have all the information about your parents’ health readily available for everyone to access.
  2. Give everyone a chance to express their ideas and keep an open mind- you never know who might suggest a great option.
  3. For the siblings who have doubts regarding your parents need for elder care, schedule a day for them to be the sole caregiver for your parents to give them first-hand experience with your parents’ state.
