Live & Learn

One thing that I have learned over the years of caring for the elderly is that they do not like change. So if you have to change some aspect of thier life do it gradually. Explain to them the reason for the change and how it will help make thier life better. Show compassion since they may not understand due to aflictions like Dementsia.

Introductions

Hello everyone! I have taken care of people my whole life and have a lot to share with you about things that maybe you've never heard of before. I hope to help those of you that are "family caregivers". This group has the biggest burden to bare. When you get thrown into that situation no one tells you what you need to do or how to do it. I'm going to try and help you out! I've learned so much in being a "family caregiver" myself so I hope to share information with you all.
