Life is full of challenges. One of those challenges may require having to
care for a loved one at home due to disability or old-age. People
requiring assistance don’t want to be a burden upon a caregiver and the
caregiver wants their loved one to feel supported rather than feel like they
are a nuisance. For those requiring care, know that is not a sign of weakness
to ask for help. For those offering help, know it's going to be an adjustment
for everyone involved; be patient with the process.
Be Prepared- Making sure you have the right tools can make all the difference in an
in-home care situation. Whatever the
situation is make sure you get a list of the necessary supplies from your
medical practitioner.
Get On A Schedule- The process of in-home care can be a frustrating
one as everyone adapts. Running out of necessary medical supplies can only add
fuel to the fire. It can be easy to get on a regularly scheduled delivery
program. Be sure to adjust as necessary and as expenses/insurance will allow.
Stay in touch – be sure to update your loved ones physician if their symptoms and/or
condition changes. The bettering communication you stay with your physician's
office the quicker you can head off potential problems and anticipate different
equipment and supplies you might need for the future.
Stay Positive – for both the caregiver and the patient it's important to keep a good
attitude. Find the humor in things even when things aren't so nice. Laugh,
joke, and uplift each other. It's easy to get caught in a downward spiral of
negativity and frustration. But if you look at the situation as your both in it
together those more room for support and happiness than you might think.
