“How do I even start talking to my parent about senior living?” If you’ve asked yourself that, you’re not alone. This is one of the hardest, and most important, conversations adult children walk through.
- It’s okay that this feels hard. Feeling nervous, sad, or guilty doesn’t mean you’re doing the wrong thing. It just means you care deeply.
- Pick a time to have coffee together. Avoid starting this conversation in the middle of a health scare or conflict.
- Start with your heart, not a “plan.” Keep the focus on care, not control.
Be curious about what they want. Ask open questions, then really listen.
- You don't have to do this alone. At CRISTA Senior Living, we walk families through these talks every day with patience, prayer, and practical guidance.
