Support & Resources for Seniors 👵🧓

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to hear from others who might have similar experiences or insights. My mother, who lives in NYC, has become completely immobile after a series of falls and has dementia that’s getting worse. Her health has really declined, and she needs a lot of care—probably around the clock. My father is also aging and unable to provide the level of assistance she really needs, but he's very resistant to options like 24-hour in-home care or a nursing home.

I’m feeling overwhelmed and unsure about the best options available. I’ve looked into home health care services, private and state nursing homes, but I have a lot of questions and concerns. I’m wondering if anyone has experience with these choices. Specifically, I’m hoping to learn:

- What are the…

If you could go back and relive one decade, which would it be and why?

What’s a great local service or resource you've found helpful?

What’s a new hobby or skill you’ve picked up recently?
