In cases of disagreement, families need an impartial mediator.
Mediation
Caring for a loved one can cause stress and lead families into conflicts, especially when time demands and financial burdens are shared disproportionately.
Even when the love and care is equal, family members may not be in agreement regarding the day-to-day needs. This can lead to disagreements, family arguments, and even threats of legal action. Sadly, it’s the person in need of care who suffers most as the family acts out on their disagreements. Fortunately, LAUREN can help.
