Your 4 way Drive to Care for Your Senior Loved One

Posted on by

 

Hello everyone,

I hope all is well.

Drive means – A strong organized effort to accomplish a purpose.*

Care About You

When you have the drive to care for your Senior Loved One (SLO), you don’t let anything get in your way.

For instance, you may do the following:

1. Self-educate yourself about your SLO’s medical condition(s) – you do this by:

  • Searching the Internet
  • Joining a Caregiver’s forum
  • Going to the Library
  • Observing your SLO

2. Get support whether it is from family and/or professionals – you do this by:

  • Asking for help from your family
  • Talking to your SLO’s doctor
  • Joining a Caregiver’s support group

3. Get feedback from your SLO to understand what they are going through and what they need. You do this by simply talking with your SLO

4. Take time to care for yourself. You know if you don’t care for yourself, you won’t be able to care for your SLO

Your drive to care for your Senior Loved One allows you to provide unconditional care. Your drive allows you to do all that you can to ensure your
SLO is living a comfortably life. Your drive is another avenue that allows you to feel good about yourself. Your drive allows you to outweigh the good with the bad. Your drive allows you to help your SLO live life to the fullest.

Your drive is what makes you a REMARKABLE person! From Care About You,we THANK YOU for having this precious DRIVE to care for your Senior Loved One and our fellow senior.

“The power of caring” is just outstanding!

Forever care,

How would you feel if you were not able to go outside by yourself anymore? Go ahead, and Think About It for 5 minutes.

Ok now, make time to take your Senior Loved One (SLO) to the mall, to visit a friend, to sit outside on the porch, or even for a walk in the park.

Question: How did you feel during your 5 minutes of thinking? Let’s be honest.

Forever care,

Thank you, Caregivers

Hello my readers,

I hope all is well.

Today, I would like to take the opportunity to thank the wonderful, passionate, and loving senior caregivers.

I know firsthand what you endure or have endured every day caring for your Senior Loved One (SLO) or for a senior. I cared for my mother and granny until they went to heaven. And now, I’m caring for other seniors. I cannot speak for others, so I will speak for myself. It truly takes a special person to care for a senior. There are many demands that you take on, to ensure that your SLO or senior receives the care that they need. Just to name a few, you have to make sure they eat, may have to bath and or dress them, take them to their doctor’s appointment,  shop for them, keep their home intact,  help them financially and emotionally.

While you are caring for your SLO or senior, you may have a family that you care for along with finding time to care for yourself. With so much care, this can indeed take a toll on your mind, body, & soul. However, no matter what, you continue to care and do what you have to do to ensure that your SLO or senior is well.

THANK YOU and here is a BIG HUG!!!

I pray that GOD or your higher power continues to give you the strength and patience so that you can care for your SLO or senior.

From a caregiver to another caregiver, you are truly blessed!

Forever care,

Care About You
