Caregiving Tools I

 (Moving Day)

Caregiving duties are like waves, constant and growing. Once the decision to move your loved one has been made, the move-in date looms ahead and new to-dos fog your day-to-day concentration.

 There are several professional resources that can help, but don’t forget to include your family and friends. They are your best support system and can provide you with comfort through this emotional period of change. Below is a list of three tips to make your transition smoother.

  •  Eldercarelink.com is a resource for finding information on any topic related to elder care, including home care, assisted living, and nursing home options. 
  • Senior move manager: allows your manger to take on a majority of the responsibility and details allowing you to spend time with your loved one.  
  • 1800HOMECARE helps you to find the closest home care or hospice companies near you.

I hope these move-in tips will help to ease your burden and make for a successful transition.
