Emergency situations can quickly turn to a time of crisis filled with confusion, frustration and financial distress. While these situations are always difficult, stress can be minimized with proper planning.<\/p>\n<h2>The Risks of Procrastinating<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salushomecare.com\/orange-county\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Orange County seniors<\/strong><\/a> often procrastinate when it comes to having important conversations with loved ones. This results in a lack of understanding about their wishes and far fewer options being available to them in a time of crisis. For this reason, it is important for anyone over the age of 65, regardless of their health status, to make time and discuss the following topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u2022 Health Care Power of Attorney and Financial Power of Attorney<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Wishes regarding aging in place or placement<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Do Not Resuscitate Orders<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Home, pet and plant care<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Family support that is available if the person needs extra assistance<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 In home aides and in home nursing care<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Wishes regarding invasive therapies, palliative care or hospice care<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Burial plans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Purpose of Emergency Planning for Orange County Seniors<\/h2>\n<p>The basic purpose of these conversations is to get everyone on the same page about what\u00a0they are willing and able to do. When each person has a job and understands what their loved ones\u2019 jobs are as well, there is less confusion, frustration and fighting if the time arrives where emergency measures need to be put in place. This helps to make sure that the senior has the most important things taken care of without delay and there are no mishaps such as failure to communicate with doctors during a hospital stay or even smaller things like meals or home modifications not being made before discharge after an illness or injury. These conversations also give seniors the opportunity to fill out important paperwork that ensures their chosen healthcare power of attorney and financial power of attorney are allowed to make decisions on their behalf when necessary.<\/p>\n<h2>Interviewing Orange County Care Providers<\/h2>\n<p>In many emergency situations, utilizing the services of an Orange County in home care provider will be necessary before the senior can return home safely. It is a good idea to research Orange County home care agencies before the emergency arises in order to make an educated decision about the services they have available. Ask questions about whether or not they provide in home care, in home nursing care, therapy and hospice services. Also ask whether assistance is available around the clock and specifics about the agency\u2019s standards and model of care. Doing this makes it easy to know who to call when help is needed and arrange for services to begin quickly if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest regret of many family caregivers is not having important conversations with their loved ones before an emergency.
