Due to this training our elderly care homes can effectively handle a wide range of behavior issues which may range from anxiety to anger and agitation to depression. Staff at elderly care homes pick-up on the body language of the senior residents to know if they are hungry, irritated, anxious or going through a health problem. The thought behind starting this kind of old age home is simple yet profound. We understand that senior resident need to live a life filled with independence, dignity, joy, freedom, and security.
Start a respectful conversation with your loved ones before a crisis about their wishes for health care, their preferences and values, and finances. If your loved one refuses to discuss these things, you may anticipate a crisis at some point and have to plan from there.
Find a team of family members, friends, colleagues who may share your concerns about your loved ones. Try not to do it alone, if possible.
Make a plan for caregiving if a need for it arises. Plans can change as need dictates but a plan can give you and your loved ones peace of mind.
Take care of yourself by anticipating (when possible) the physical, emotional and financial demands of caregiving.
Find support for yourself. Caregiving can be stressful.
Think about your own aging and communicate your wishes, hopes (and possibly finances) to people who will be concerned about you, well ahead of any crisis situation.
