Taking care of an elderly parent can be difficult as well as rewarding. If your parent is more at risk for falls, you may have to alter the layout of your home accordingly, clearing clutter from walkways and adding handholds to your bathroom and shower.

Items such as medical alert systems can be purchased in order to monitor a senior parent in the home in case of a fall or other emergency, and provides the senior with a wearable button to press for immediate connection to emergency services.

hi, i'm not sure if this is the answer you were looking for but i do health & social care at college and i've learnt that you should use:-

Non-verbal communication:-

  • good eye contact
  • good posture to show your relaxed e.g. dont fold your arms as that might show to the client you are angry with them
  • sit or stand arms-length away from the client to give them personal space

Verbal communication:-

  • Be careful in the way you would praise the client..e.g don't say 'you are a star and have tried fantastically' in a patronizing way as this could make the elderly feel as though you are talking down to them
