Caregiver Support and Home Health Care

Providing you with caregiver support and elder care information

They helped you tie your shoes, now it’s your turn…
Most of us spend a great part of our lives being cared by our families. Eventually, it becomes our turn to care for them.

It’s not always and easy task. The good news is you don’t have to do it alone! For us, we devoted our lives to helping people like you, your mom, dad, husband or wife, your child.
Caregivers need support too!

Our job is simply to make your life easier!

Being a caregiver and providing home health care requires the family to organize their home, their life, find and ask for support, problem solve and make important decisions.

With the 50 million…and growing…caregivers in America, the high cost of healthcare and our economy, we all need to cut costs! However, we can not deny our parents and children when they experience health issues and we must provide care for them.

***I give you all kudos for your kindness, compassion and patience…LOTS OF PATIENCE…***

Being a caregiver can be very stressful. You don’t eat healthy, you’re not sleeping right and you need to care for your own family and children as well as your aging parent and or loved one. If you have to work ( which almost all of us need to do these days!), you’re juggling your schedule and trying to organize your time to deal with all the demands of life.

• How to keep yourself going and stay healthy?
Consider the example of the lioness… She is the first to feed after the hunt, then the cubs and then the lion. Those who give care must care for themselves first.

TAKING CARE OF FAMILY

Tips for family caregivers:

• Share the load. Caregiving often falls on one family member — usually the spouse, an unmarried child or those who live the closest — but all family members can contribute in some way. Can one provide money to pay for services? Could another take Mom on weekends? Figuring out what the tasks are and what each can do help ease the burden.

• Deal with your emotions. Most caregivers are unprepared for the emotions they have: sadness, fear, anger and guilt are very common feelings. Getting enough rest, taking breaks, eating well and seeking help from family members, friends and community agencies can help you deal with those emotions and stay well.

• Include your elder loved one in tasks around the house. "You really need to make great efforts to include the person you're giving care to with whatever tasks and chores around the house, within the limits of what they could do," said Ken Lee, who cares for his 88-year-old mother, Mary. "If not, what happens is their skills disintegrate and even more so, they feel like an extra burden." Whether it's helping out in the kitchen for dinner or tidying up around the house, "they need to feel like they're part of something, "It gives them great satisfaction."
