In our work, we often end up working with and caring for married couples. Most elderly married couples we work with act like a unit. We notice that they learn from each other quite a bit. At times, one leans on the other a little bit more than the other does. We’ve all heard that marriage is 50/50. But I think it’s only 50/50 in the aggregate.
One of our elderly couples is just trying to move through their life and thrive at home. In the home that they love and want to stay in.
What we do for clients is help them build relationships with us so that we are the third leg in their relationship. Making sure one does not lean too far on the other, taking them both down. We provide support and keep them both upright.
