I’m afraid I might offend my uncle if I suggest something too drastic. How can I be helpful but gentle at the same time?

Other ways in which you can assist your uncle while maintaining his dignity are to

  • empower him to find some solutions himself;
  • keep in contact with him;
  • make suggestions about options to help him;
  • establish a connection with formal care services;
  • find ways to reduce his isolation.
