Define Personal Space

If there is a unanimous decision to have aging parents move in with you, it is important to discuss and establish boundaries for personal space before moving day. This can ease tensions and prevent future feelings of animosity. Define an area in your home that is a private retreat for your parents, such as their own bedroom and bathroom. Designate an area that is your personal retreat. Respect the need for each individual’s social life.
