How to Support an Aging Parent Who Refuses Medical Assistance
In this video, we delve into the complex topic of why a parent may refuse medical or home care. We understand that dealing with elderly care resistance can be an emotional and challenging task for caregivers, but understanding the root causes of a parent’s refusal of care is crucial in finding ways to support their well-being and maintain their autonomy and dignity. We will explore some of the common reasons for aging parent refusal of care, such as dementia and medical refusal, and provide strategies for supporting a stubborn elderly parent and dealing with resistant elderly parents. We’ll also cover important topics such as medical assistance refusal in aging adults, home care refusal, and coping with a resistant elderly parent. Join us as we dive into understanding and supporting aging parents who refuse care. Summary: The video aims to help caregivers understand the various reasons why a parent may refuse medical or home care. It highlights that a parent’s refusal of care can have many root causes, such as lack of understanding, fear of the unknown, or a desire to maintain independence. The video emphasizes the importance of taking the time to understand the cause behind such a decision before trying to force them into care they may not understand or feel comfortable with. This could include providing information and education about the care being offered, helping them overcome fears and anxieties with empathy, or simply giving reassurance that their health and well-being will remain uncompromised. By taking this approach, parents can make informed decisions about their care based on knowledge and trust. The video also mentions that past experiences can have a profound effect on a parent’s decision making, particularly when it comes to healthcare. A parent who has had negative experiences in the past may be reluctant to accept medical treatment or follow through with recommended care. Negative past experiences, such as mistreatment or misdiagnosis, can make parents distrustful of healthcare professionals and hesitant to seek medical care. Previous experiences with illnesses or injuries that resulted in poor outcomes can make parents hesitant to seek medical help. Parents may also be hesitant to seek medical treatment due to financial concerns, such as the high costs of care and the financial strain it caused in the past. This may lead to avoiding seeking medical help or accepting home care or assisted living. As a caregiver, understanding one’s parental past experiences is key in order to develop strategies and provide tailored care that meets their needs and preferences. The video also highlights that cognitive decline can make it hard for aging adults to understand and accept medical care. This is especially difficult for aging parents, who may not realize the extent of their cognitive decline or the harm it can cause without proper medical care. Memory impairment, executive function decline, and attention issues can make it hard for older adults to follow medical instructions, make complex decisions, or focus on health discussions. In these situations, caregivers must be understanding, sensitive, and patient. They should explain how accepting care improves quality of life in a way the patient can understand. The video also emphasizes the importance of involving patients in their care decisions as much as possible, even with cognitive decline, in order to support their autonomy and quality of life and make the care process more person-centered. Finally, the video mentions that people’s beliefs can strongly influence their refusal of care. Religious beliefs, belief in alternative medicine, and cultural beliefs can cause someone to refuse certain medical treatments or procedures. It’s important for caregivers to be aware of this and show understanding of what the patient’s beliefs are and how they influence their healthcare decisions. Caregivers should be respectful of patients’ beliefs and preferences and make sure their treatment plan aligns with them as much as possible. 👉 Live Event Playlist: http://bit.ly/3R5fKkA 👉 Dementia Playlist: http://bit.ly/3XTljot 👉 Senior Health Care Playlist: http://bit.ly/3ylxs8a 👉 Branding and Scaling Your Business with inOneApp: https://app.inoneapp.co/ 👉 Subscribe: http://bit.ly/3XvzVum 👉 See our Website: https://podcast.boomerliving.tv/ 🎙 Boomer Living Podcast: https://hanhdbrown.com/ 👉 LinkedIn https://bit.ly/2TFIbbd 👉 Email Hanh@hanhdbrown.com We love getting your letters.

Marlon Sobol – The Power of Music to Heal Seniors with Dementia
Researchers have focused on how music can benefit those with Alzheimer’s. Anecdotal evidence shows that music can tap memories and reduce anxiety, pain, heart rate, and blood pressure. It can help accelerate healing, boost learning, improve neurological disorders and increase social interaction. Musical memories are often preserved in Alzheimer’s disease because key brain areas linked to musical memory are relatively undamaged by the disease. Listening to favorite music can trigger long-term memories and bring comfort to people with Alzheimer’s. Music therapy can also reduce agitation, anxiety, and aggression in people with dementia. For some people, music may help ease physical pain. And research suggests that group singing may help improve memory and social interactions. Today My guest is Marlon Sobol MT-BC, LCAT. Marlon is a highly energetic and engaging music therapist and musician with over 20 years of experience in the Healthcare industry and has toured America and Europe, playing some of the biggest stages. He chooses to make meaningful music experiences with people of all ages and walks of life! Keeping a high-performance bar helps create a strong music-centered therapeutic and immersive experience for the seniors. He believes capturing top group music therapy techniques on video creates a vibrant, healthy community.
