TOP CAREGIVER'S TIPS

http://www.beautifulyears.com/

If you are a taking care of an elderly person in your family,

these are the most important tips, in my opinion.

1. Talk it over! Try to avoid anxiety, resentment, grief, and

guilt; don’t get into denial or isolation - find people to share

your feelings with! Write your own diary or journal. You are

not alone – on BeautifulYears.com you can meet many

people like you, in a situation like yours.

2. As they said during flights when oxygen level is low, take

care of yourself first before attending to your child. Similarly

you got to take care of yourself first. Only then you can

attend to your loved ones!

3. Take breaks as often as you can to rejuvenate yourself. Tell

yourself that you are doing a fabulous job, because you

truly are!

4. You can’t do it alone! Please look for help from family,

friends, professionals, and volunteers. Finding a qualified

and trusted nurse or attendant can be difficult, but at

certain point it is inevitable.

5. Learn! Taking care of your elders requires a lot of skills and

a lot of knowledge; it is almost like another expertise you

have to acquire!

6. It is not just “old age” that your elders are suffering from;

their conditions (be it Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or others)

could be diagnosed, and many of them could be treated!

You cannot “fix” ageing, but you can definitely make it more

comfortable, if you understand specific condition of your

elders. Talk to your doctor and to other people who have

been in a similar situation.

7. Consider modifying your home to make it a safer and better

living space for the elderly. Falls are the biggest factor of

hospital visits for the elderly – and most of them can be

prevented. Talk to specialists to learn more about adjusting

homes for seniors.
