What To Do When Your Parent Refuses Help

Try to find what they are truly saying no to. A parent might not want help with bills because they are worried about losing control of their finances. They may not want help with laundry if they are hiding an incontinence issue. They may conceal some cognitive deficits and want to keep everything the same at home because that’s where they are most confident. Knowing what is happening can help you as a family problem solve how to help and maintain as much independence as possible.
