Now that my mom is receiving daily help, I sometimes feel guilty that I’m “less involved.” Any tips on still playing a meaningful role?

It’s natural to feel guilty when your mom is receiving daily help, but there are still ways to play a meaningful role. You can stay involved by attending care meetings, helping with daily tasks when possible, or even offering emotional support. Spending quality time together, like enjoying a favorite activity, can strengthen your relationship.

Yes! Also, get involved in care meetings or therapy sessions when possible. Families aren’t just visitors – you're advocates too. Help staff understand what comforts your loved one best. That emotional piece is something professionals can't replace.
