You and I know that every person has a desire for a physical connection. This desire does not go away as we age for some if not a lot of people. When someone pays attention to another person, especially when it is unexpected, life changes and it can get exciting again.
Living in an assisted living community opens the door to new friendships and possibilities that do not exist if your loved one is living alone.
There is also a downside to this need of connection that needs to be understood. The internet can trap people and manipulate those that are niave and lonely.
This episode dives into funny situations I found myself in trying to navigate my resident's need for ( a mature and professional way of putting it ) physical connection!
I have created the Aspire for More with Erin company to be a resource for families needing guidance, inspiration or a hand to hold. I can help jumpstart any conversation with any family member regarding the next step and help determine what that next step should be. I have helped 1000's of families navigate the caregiving journey and it has been the joy of my life!
