On ‘Life Quakes,’ hosts Jessica Reyes and Patricia Wu hear from a viewer that is having a hard time with their parent resisting the idea of in-home care. Guest Dr. Jude Black offers her advice on navigating this sensitive situation.

Focus on maintaining independence

Frame the conversation around how in-home care can actually enhance your parent’s independence, allowing them to continue enjoying their favorite activities and hobbies.

Involve your parent in the decision-making process

Ask them what type of help they would find most beneficial and make sure they feel heard and respected.

Seek support from others

If your parent remains resistant, involve trusted family members or friends who can offer additional perspectives and reassurance.
