With the current state of the economy, many households are
becoming multigenerational. In an effort
to save money and keep a watchful eye on our aging parents, both mothers-in-law
now live with us.
This is great! True there
is always a few stressors that arise from this accommodations but focusing on
the positive, we know they are safe, we can react quicker to their needs, and
they give us a hand caring for the kids or cooking delish homemade meals for
us.
Right now both grandmothers are still strong and for the most
part health. But we are already
observing a steady decline in agility, energy and an increase in aches / pains.
This has gotten us thinking about the day we will really
have to care for them; when they no longer will be able to look after
themselves.
We are definitively not the only ones. According to the white paper The State of the
Hispanic Caregiver, elderly Hispanics will triple by 2050 to 17%.
A few other points from the paper caught our attention:
o Hispanic
caregivers are younger than their counterparts in society
o Hispanics
have higher rates of incontinence due to diabetes, Alzheimer’s, etc
o Hispanic
elders are more likely to live children or grandchildren.
Consider that not only the economy, but also out Hispanic heritage
leads us into caring for our elders via these now popular multigenerational
households because we are very family oriented.
Like with motherhood, at first these new caregivers are
clueless as to what to do, or how to do it best.
Now there is a tool to guide and offer the
best products and services.
