Emotional need for elderly?

Visit: Visit elderly frequently, family care giver needs to avoid fatigue. Talk to home visiting nurse if indicated.

Fast Life: Remember that our culture has changed dramatically over the course of your elderly loved one's life. The internet did not exist during most of the life of the elderly person. Even freeways didn't exist for the most part. Life is just lived at a much faster pace that it was decades ago. Remember to slow down and have a conversation, and do a lot of patient, interested listening.
