As our parents season changes you may notice the dynamic changes between. You may notice an increased inclusion in decisions needing to be made or even an increased anxiety about matters that once were a part of everyday life. Is this you? And how fo you feel about this.

CompassCare is network that connects families, resources and guidance. Guiding families through the later seasons of life. Providing answers to questions, discussion opportunities, as WE face that transition. As a 40 something year old Women, having worked in health and social care for the past 26years. I now start to feel the role reversal between my own parents and me their daughter. They do not require care, but they do require a gentle ear and guidance as they begin to find tasks that they once taught me, somewhat complex or overwhelming . They are go getters, active 75yr olds. However, I now see my role in promoting the best, healthy lifestyle and quality of life for them and supporting their ambitions to achieve more despite some increasing physical frailties. I feel perhaps particularly prepared for this, given my career choice, however I realised, much like when we bring another human into our world. Knowbody prepares us for this. The emotion it brings, how it impacts on our on life and how to best approach it. Here, together we will navigate, ask questions, be curious and provide resources to enable you to navigate care with heart and clarity. I would be interested to hear your thoughts and observations of your parents.
