A New Support Program Helps Siblings Overcome Conflict While Caring for Parents
A new local program - The 50-50 Rule - offers strategies for overcoming sibling differences to help families provide the best care for elderly parents.
- Boise City, ID (1888PressRelease) February 26, 2011 - Over 43 percent of siblings disagreeing on how to care for their parents, a new 50/50 program, offered by Home Instead Senior Care (HISC), offers solutions.
The 50/50 program implies siblings, typically at 50 years old, should share equally in the decisions for their aging parents. "Any Treasure Valley family that cares for a senior loved one knows that problems among siblings can lead to stress and family strife" said Elizabeth Britton, owner of Home Instead Senior Care in Boise, "The 50/50 program provides solutions".
The 50/50 program identifies hot topics with solutions to issues like inheritance, distance, and workload which are common distracters among siblings in the decision-making process.
"There are over 50 thousand seniors, age 65 and older in Idaho. Most of them have more than one child" said Britton, "Siblings should be able to have peaceful discussions about caring for Mom without the risk of harming relationships. That's why the local Home Instead Senior Care office has launched this 50/50 program".
