Elder Matters of the Carolinas, LLC Elder Matters of the Carolinas LLC is a practice exclusively dedicated to helping families discuss and work through age-related concerns.

We can help when you don't know where else to turn. When it comes to dealing with the issues related to an aging parent, there are no easy answers. You may find yourself sandwiched between caring for a parent and raising a family. Or you are forced to make choices between equally bad alternatives. You may have misunderstandings with your aging parents or your siblings. And the pressure of the situ

ation can be exacerbated by family members living miles apart. Our team includes North Carolina certified mediators, trained facilitators, and a trained elder mediator. Mediation provides the pathway for families to come together to make decisions on behalf of their elders. Elder Matters uses mediation as a way to give all stakeholders a place at the table. We create a place for families to come together to discuss important, emotionally charged issues in a fair and productive way. We make it possible for families to reach peaceable, satisfying resolution together—as families. Our work is informed and driven by the experience each of us have had in our own families with aging loved ones. Our approach is to empower families to navigate for themselves through difficult terrain. As mediators, we are neutral. We get to know your family and its dynamics before we meet as a group so that when we do convene, the focus is on attacking the problem instead of each other.

Family disputes can be extremely pernicious and difficult to untangle especially when a central issue is an aging parent. Amidst colliding views and personalities, most everyone ultimately seeks resolution.

Here’s why it can be difficult. Growing up, family members each had a role. Over the years, as children raise families of their own, the role once played in their original family may seem in the distant past. That is until that family faces issues of an elder parent. Under often trying conditions, roles are upended. Siblings may view each other, or themselves, in the role they once occupied in the family- a role that no longer fits. Same is true for the elder parent whose role is completely reversed. That discomfort potentially inhibits constructive problem-solving. It may lead to conflict.

Elder Matters provides professional mediators who provide a structure to facilitate a family conversation. The focus is on the issues and away from each other. The objective is to establish conditions in which families together find resolution. Success is empowering-establishing the means for families to work together moving forward. Inquire about our services. Our mediators are available to explain how it works to you and your family at no charge.

Do you wonder if your parents’ interests are primary in decisions made by a brother or sister with Power of Attorney?

Any doubt about a sibling can become toxic quickly. A direct discussion may be the best solution, but the sensitivity of the topic may make that very difficult. Mediation may be the answer. We can help you with difficult discussions and preserve and build relationships within your family by doing so. www.eldermatters.org
