Many times, the family knows there is a problem, but does not know where to go for help. Often, children of seniors have a hard time confronting their parents. Parents do not want to be told what to do by their children. Many seniors do not have family nearby or any family at all. You are their only hope.
Seniors are often aware that something is wrong, but are scared.
They do not want to admit they need help. Sometimes, the best thing is to call in a stranger who is a professional. There are many county and local agencies that can help. One of our local agencies is We Care, located in Royal Palm Beach. They provide crisis intervention for seniors.
