Adult Children, Aging Parents, and Retirement
Communities
As one generation ages, the care of and
responsibility of the parents often falls to
their adult children, resulting in what has been
labeled child-parent role reversal. With this
role-reversal, it naturally brings along a great
deal of stress as new and unfamiliar
responsibilities land in the lap of the adult
child. Similarly for the parent, aging brings its
own stress as health needs and capabilities
change. In fact, retirement is recognized as one
of the top ten most stressful life events!

In the midst of all this stress, we would like to
offer some ideas to help reduce stress and help
improve the transition of the child-parent role
reversal. Evaluate and plan accordingly. Not all
seniors need around-the-clock skilled nursing
care. Senior living communities can offer many
different levels of care, from independent living
in a community of senior adults to assisted
living. Evaluating or helping evaluate the
social, physical, and medical needs, as well as
the finances of an aging parent can help you find
the best solutions.

Communicate with all family members involved. If
there are multiple members of one family
concerned with the care of a parent, there may
also be many different opinions as to the best
options for care. One sibling may believe that
their parent is doing great while the other may
be convinced that they are unsafe or unwell.
Communication among all the people concerned is
vital, including communication with the
parent. Dont be afraid to ask for help. There
are many resources available to caretakers when
it comes to evaluating and identifying needs.
Senior Living Communities such as Imperial Club
offer many different options for senior care in
varying levels to best meet the needs of aging
parents.
