Holiday Tips For The Caregiver
The time has come for family gatherings, creating memories and celebrating. However, holidays are stressful anyway, with gifts, creating that special holiday meal and hosting family from out of town. Even under the best of circumstances, it can at times be intense. If you’re caring for someone this holiday season it’s critical that you consider the patient’s situation first. These tips may help you enjoy the holidays with health and happiness:
Ask yourself, “Will this help the person I am caring for or could it potentially hurt him/her”. This basic question will assist you in making the proper decisions and help you focus on realistic goals for the holiday season.
Ask family and friends for their support and cooperation this year. They will understand that your primary concern is the health of the individual you’re caring for.
Know how to access medical care anytime, anywhere. Problems can always arise no matter what the situation might be. Don’t go somewhere that will endanger the one you’re caring for.
Watch out for those winter germs. Its flu season so be careful with how many visitors you have over at the house. Try “air kisses" and remind visitors to wash their hands and leave sick guests at home.
Let’s not forget, there’s always the World Wide Web! Try something like Skype to hold a virtual conversation or even a dinner so the one you’re caring for is still included on the holiday fun without being exposed to any harm.
The holidays should be a time of love, sharing, honoring traditions and being with the ones who mean the most to you. We wish you all the best this holiday season and nothing but health and happiness in the New Year!
