One of the challenges of aging is that we often suffer with both acute and chronic illnesses. In many cases, these are perfectly manageable at home and sometimes with special care, but at some point for many people the time for living without full-time care becomes a frightening reality.
For the families of loved ones who are elderly and require full-time special care, this can be an especially challenging and emotionally fraught time. In cases where one or more elderly parents or other family members need the kind of care that can no longer be offered in a regular home environment, the following problems may arise:
* anger, guilt, and frustration from family members,
* emotional rifts that occur as a result of family members pushing for specialist, senior apartments, or assisted care in a facility, and
* stress, anxiety, and depression as a result of feeling like you are losing parents or other family members due to change.

In fact, upon making the decision and coming to terms with it, most people find that there is a feeling of relief and a looking forward to a new phase of life.
