• When working part-time but using all your free time to run to the grocery for mom, taking dad to the doctor or doing chores for your loved one and having little time to simply sit and talk or enjoy a lunch together. 
• When working full-time and then coming home to provide care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 
• When you are retired and still have a full time or part-time job with your parent(s)

These scenarios will start to drain even the peppiest and healthiest person. When it comes to a loved one needing full or part-time home care, you seem to be “on the job or on-call” all the time. 

When your loved one is in need of part-time or continuous care/companionship, you may end up getting very little alone time. It may be time to evaluate if your needs as a human are being met and if the needs of the person you are caring for are being met. The best thing you can do for your loved one is to take care of yourself and find areas where ElderCare 4 Families can assist is the first step.

Here are some of the most common areas to start assessing where ElderCare 4 Families can help:

Emotional Care Support: Companionship, meaningful activities, conversation

Personal Care Support: Basic grooming, bathing, eating, dressing, walking, toileting

Household Care Support: Cooking and meal prepping, cleaning, laundry, shopping, outdoor house maintenance. 

Overall Health Care Needs: Medication management, physician’s appointments, exercising

By hiring ElderCare 4 Families, our caregivers can relieve you of some or all of the everyday tasks. This newly found time can be used to take care of you and enjoy some much-deserved “me time.” Just imagine if you had someone you trusted helping your loved one so you could run your own errands, make your own doctor appointments, and most of all spend REAL quality time with your loved one.
