If you feel your mother, father, or other loved one could benefit from home healthcare, the next step is to discuss with them. This may be a sensitive topic, hence we have prepared a guide to help make this conversation easier for both of you:

WHAT TO DO:

Get ready discussion points.

Arrange a suitable time.
Don't rush it.

Talk in person.
Not through phone or text.

Talk about similar experiences from friends/relatives.

Always ask how they feel.

Don't force it.
Give suggestions, e.g try out one session.

WHAT NOT TO DO:

Don't delay the talk if situation is critical.

Don't start the conversation abruptly.

Avoid distractions such as TV or radio.

Don't talk without stopping.
Ask them if they have questions.

Don't assume you know what they want.

Don't force it.
Approach the topic again another time.
