Nutrition — Hold the SaltEach day, most of us eat two times the salt (sodium) we need. Hold the salt to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.

Slowly lower the amount of salt you eat and your taste buds will adapt. Most of the salt we eat comes from processed and packaged foods such as soups, sauces, cheese, and deli meats.

Tips for lowering your salt intake:

• Choose foods that have “sodium free” or “low sodium” on the package label.

• Read the nutrition label to find sodium in hidden places (sauces, deli meats, microwave dinners, snacks).

• Try cooking with less salt! Use herbs and spices such as garlic, chives, basil and mint to flavour food.

• Eat fewer restaurant meals and salty snack foods.

Planning for the Journey Ahead Reflect on your caregiving journey and plan for the future to avoid the stress of uncertainty.

Caregiving is a journey most of us will take in time. You can avoid the stress of uncertainty by following the CARE plan:

C = Create a conversation around caregiving to help your family and friends in planning for long-term care and even end-of-life issues.

A = Acknowledge your loved one’s wishes. Ensure your care recipient that you want to do what is best for them. By having this conversation now you will be better equipped to help them when they need it.

R = Review what is already planned. Ask your loved one if they have legal documents such as a will, power of attorney or personal directives. Find out where these important documents are located.

E = Engage the whole family. Include siblings, your other parent or even your spouse and older children in the caregiving plan.

The CARE plan helps everyone prepare for their role and will help ensure you—as the primary caregiver—do not become burned out or bankrupt when you take on caregiving. By planning ahead you’ll avoid stress and strife later.

IMPORTANT LEGAL DOCUMENTS TO HAVE:

• Will

• Power of Attorney

• Personal Directive

Assertiveness and Sharing the CareBecome more confident, gain assertiveness to get what you need, and learn how to ask for help when caring for someone.

Here are some tips on how to ask for help to share the caring with family members:

• Speak up—don’t expect friends and family members to know what you need or how you are feeling. Get a dialogue going.

• Spread the responsibility—try to get as many family members involved in caregiving as possible. Even someone who lives far away can help. One person can take care of medical, another finances, another grocery and errands.

• Set up a regular check in—ask a family member, friend or volunteer to call you daily/weekly. This person can help you spread status updates and coordinate with other family members.

• Say “yes” when someone offers assistance—don’t be shy about accepting help. Let them feel good about supporting you.

The Emotional JourneyExplore your emotions and put negative feelings into perspective.

Did you know:

• Most caregivers experience burden and well-being at the same time.

• Stress is a symptom or reaction to feelings and unmet needs.

• Most caregivers provide care for more than two years and will require different supports over the course of their caregiving journey.

• Positive feelings about yourself, your caregiving role, and accessing respite and other support services, if needed, will help you to achieve a greater sense of well-being.

• Appropriate humour can provide caregivers with a mental break that can reduce stress.

Caregiver Bill of RightsThis powerful message first appeared in Jo Horne’s book Caregiving: Helping an Aging Loved One (AARP Books, 1985). It is a helpful reminder on bad days that we cannot do everything, that we do not need to feel guilty for taking care of ourselves, and that we deserve support and recognition for the care we provide.

I have the right:

• To take care of myself. This is not an act of selfishness. It will give me the capability of taking better care of my loved one.

• To seek help from others even though my loved one may object. I recognize the limits of my own endurance and strength.

• To maintain facets of my own life that do not include the person I provide care for, just as I would if he or she were healthy. I know that I do everything I reasonably can for this person and I have the right to do some things just for myself.

• To get angry, be depressed and express other difficult feelings occasionally.

• To reject any attempt by my loved one (either conscious or unconscious) to manipulate me through guilt, anger or depression.

• To receive consideration, affection, forgiveness and acceptance for what I do for my loved one for as long as I offer these qualities in return.

• To take pride in what I am accomplishing and to applaud the courage it has sometimes taken to meet the needs of my loved one.

• To protect my individuality and my right to make a life for myself that will sustain me in the time when my loved one no longer needs my full time help.

• To expect and demand that as new strides are made in finding resources to aid persons living with illness, physical or mental challenges in our country, similar strides will be made toward aiding and supporting caregivers.

Renewal – Mind/Body/SpiritChoose Superfoods• Every day enjoy some of these nutrient packed foods:

salmon, Greek yogurt, spinach, tomatoes, garlic, mixed berries, mixed beans, broccoli, cabbage, quinoa, whole oats, unsalted raw mixed nuts, olive oil, flax seeds and green tea.

Movement• Life IS movement. Too little or too much exercise can

upset the body’s ability to restore itself. The best exercise is one that you enjoy and will continue to do. Gentle activities like leisurely walking, gentle yoga, stretching or QiGong can leave you with more energy than you started with, renewing your energy.

Breathe & Meditate • Take a few minutes every day to sit quietly and focus

on your breath, breathing deeply. This allows the mind to clear and find a sense of focus, improving clarity and understanding as well as reducing stress.

Find Gratitude and Happiness• Being grateful for the “little things” in life can shift us into

a positive mindset, which improves our outlook, even on difficult days.

Sleep• Most people feel their best with 7–9 hours of sleep, but

notice what is best for you. Take naps if necessary.

Health Care Checkups• Regular medical and dental checkups are important to

monitor medications, to screen for diseases, and for preventative care. Ask your health care professional to explain things if you need clarification.

Knowing Your CapacitiesLearn how stress can lead to burn out, and what you can do to save yourself before it’s too late.

Common signs and symptoms of burn out:

• You have much less energy than you used to.

• It seems like you catch every cold or flu that’s going around.

• You’re constantly exhausted, even after sleeping.

• You neglect your own needs, either because you’re too busy or you just don’t care anymore.

• Your life revolves around caregiving, but it gives you little satisfaction.

• You have trouble relaxing even when help is available.

• You’re increasingly impatient and irritable with the person you’re caring for.

• You feel helpless and hopeless.

Once you burn out, caregiving is no longer a healthy option for either you or the person you are caring for. It’s important to watch for the warning signs of caregiver burn out and take action right away. Some resources might include seeing your family doctor, accessing homecare and talking to your family or joining a support group.

Putting Yourself First— The hardest lessonRegain your identity as a whole person by taking care of yourself first.

As a busy caregiver, leisure time may seem like an impossible luxury. But you owe it to yourself—as well as the person you are caring for—to carve it into your schedule.

• It is recommended to set aside a minimum of 30 minutes a day for yourself. Try reading, working in the garden or playing with your dog.

• Find ways to pamper yourself. Take a bath, get a manicure, and buy fresh flowers or whatever makes you feel special.

• Make yourself laugh. Read a funny book, watch a comedy, or call a friend. Try to find the humor in everyday situations.

• Get out of the house. Seek out family and friends to step in with caregiving so you can have a break.

• Visit with friends and share your feelings. If it’s difficult to leave the house, have friends over to visit. Remember its okay to talk about things that aren’t caregiver related.



It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary.

Winter ReadinessWinter Safety ChecklistPreparation is the key to having a safe winter.

Stock up on fresh water and dried or canned food (and a can opener). If you have pets, stock up on their food and medication too.

Arrange for friends to checkup on you when there is a storm. Offer to do the same in return.

If you have a caregiver, make arrangements in case weather prevents your caregiver from getting to you.

Have a seven day supply of your medications with you. If you use oxygen, have an emergency supply to last three days or more.

Ensure you have extra batteries on hand for hearing aids, diabetes monitoring equipment and other medical or mobility equipment.

Use salt and sand on driveways and sidewalks in the winter to melt snow and improve traction. For residents who are physically unable to remove snow, assistance may be available by contacting:

• Parkland County—780 968-8400

• Spruce Grove—780-962-7618

• Stony Plain—780-963-8583



Rest and self-care are so important. When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.
