Am I Respecting My Elderly Loved One's Dignity and Independence?

I really want to make sure that while I’m helping out, I’m not overstepping or taking away my loved one's sense of dignity and independence. It's tricky because I want to be supportive, but I sometimes worry that I might be doing too much or making decisions without really hearing them out. How do you know if you’re striking the right balance between being helpful and being respectful of their independence? If anyone has tips or experiences on how to keep that balance, I’d love to hear them! It’s so important to me that they still feel in control and respected.
