[quote=Anonymous]Any tasks they show frustration with or complain about? Those will be your easiest way to ease in to this. The next best bet is laundry, saying you know they can do it, but you are scared of a fall. Reality is a fall can prevent them from remaining at home and enjoying the independence they currently have. Present it as preventing falls will allow them to enjoy what they are doing longer and bring you peace of mind. For some once they get someone in for a few hours a week they are open to increasing hours over time. Others resist and dig heals in on this no matter how dire and unsafe the situation is. [/quote]
