Benjamin Franklin said: “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” From the moment of birth living life begins. However, with life there is death. Some prepare for it, many assume they will wait and prepare when the time comes. For some death will come unexpectedly but if you can support your parent through the transition from life to death wouldn’t that be the best gift you could provide both them and yourself? Private in home care is available in the Dayton area to assist your parent through the process of living and dying.
These individuals are compassionate caregivers that will support your mom or dad, and with the assistance of their medical intervention team, provide a smooth journey. It is essential that your mother or father’s wishes are being granted during this period. Hopefully your loved one has taken the time to express to you and their care team what their dying wishes are. As difficult as their choices may be for you as the adult child, it is important to remember it is their life and their quest to travel.
When identifying compassion, it is simply experiencing the needs of another, and the private in home care specialist is trained to do just that. This compassionate individual will be playing a dual role as they experience not just the needs of your parent but yours as well. Their responsibility is to your mom or dad, but they will support you and your family as well. The private in home care expert has a challenging role but delivers it sincerely.
Research shows that when compassion is delivered as part of the treatment in private in home care, heart rates slow down and oxytocin the bonding hormone secretes causing an increase in empathy. Just an act of kindness!
