Old Folk
Hi all,
Phew, this is a tough one.
Dad and Stepmum are getting old and frail.
They recently had a bad car accident which they survived with only bruises.
This has escalated an ongoing problem.
They seem unable to get themselves organised, the more I do the more they seem prepared to let me do.
Dad has now given up driving but has made no plans to organize shopping.
My step sister and step brother live in the same Town as them but I'm 40 miles away. We have never been in regular contact.
How can you motivate old folk that are in an endless muddle and becoming unable to cope with everyday life ?
