How do you counsel the elderly?

Answer 1

Taking care of an elderly parent can be difficult as well as rewarding. If your parent is more at risk for falls, you may have to alter the layout of your home accordingly, clearing clutter from walkways and adding handholds to your bathroom and shower. If your parent has a serious medical condition, a trained medical professional such as an at home caregiver may have to be hired for the times you cannot perform the necessary care for your parent, or times when no one will be home and the parent needs to be watched. Items such as medical alert systems can be purchased in order to monitor a senior parent in the home in case of a fall or other emergency, and provides the senior with a wearable button to press for immediate connection to emergency services.

Answer 2

A successful caregiver is one who truly has the heart and willingness to help those in need. They do not provide care in search of recognition or money. A true caregiver provides care because they feel the need to help those less fortunate to make their days a bit brighter and manageable.

The basic duties of in-home caregivers are:

· Assist with Hygiene Management (bathing, grooming, dressing, skin care, etc.)

· Assist in transferring, repositioning, ambulating, etc.

· Meal planning and preparation

· Pick up or light housecleaning, laundry and linen changing

· Implement Instructions from Hospice

· Provide comfort and supervision

· Medication supervision and administration

· Assist with Physical Therapy or range of motion

· Run Errands (grocery shopping, pharmacy pick-up, doctor appointments, etc.)
