Your loved one raised you as a child, got through those turbulent teen years with you, and then helped you start up your life successfully as a young adult. They’ve always been there for you and now that your loved one has reached her golden years, you are more than happy to help her live out these golden years to the very best that she can.
As her caregiver, you might be helping her stay in her home, having her move in with you, or helping her transition to another living environment, such as a senior community. You want to be able to ensure that she has everything she needs to enjoy all that life has to offer while staying safe and secure.
Through this process of becoming a caregiver, many caregivers eventually find themselves burned out because they’ve tried to do it all. They are driving their loved ones to all of their appointments (and taking copious notes from the doctor to review later), shopping for and preparing most of their meals, taking care of all of the home chores, and being the social director of their lives. All of these are important aspects of taking care of your elderly loved one, but the good news is, if you’re willing to accept a little help, there are senior home services ready and willing to help relieve the workload a bit.
As your loved one’s primary caregiver, it’s important to sit with your loved one and talk about which tasks are causing you the most stress as well as which tasks she would be most comfortable accepting help from a home service provider. She might say she really wants you to be at all of the doctor appointments, but you don’t need to attend the dentist appointments. Or she might say she’d enjoy the companionship of a home care provider who comes over weekly for coffee and a game of Monopoly.
What if you just need some temporary help? Perhaps you have an important business conference that you have to attend for a week, but the roof repair company that you’ve had booked for 9 months is scheduled during that same time frame. Your loved one and you may not feel comfortable leaving it up to your loved one to oversee an outside professional but you don’t want to have to reschedule. A home services provider can help you by being there to meet with any outside professionals while you’re away so you can rest assured that the task you need to have completed will be clearly communicated so that it can be done without causing any undo stress to you or your loved one.
Having someone on a senior home services team step in and help with overwhelming responsibilities, can help you focus more on the important stuff like spending quality one-on-one time with your loved one and enjoying it without worrying about something not getting done.
