When Family Members are the Caregivers … you face many trials and tribulations during this time. Not only are you dealing with your loved one having many changes in their life, you too are now under extreme stress and pressure. As the caregiver you need to make sure you allow time just for you to re-group and be able to handle the task you are faced with. Make sure you hold on to the memories when Mom/Dad were well so that depression does not set in…YOU need to have control of your own emotions to handle the ones you are dealing with at the present time. For additional information go to: www.nfcacares.org (National Family Caregivers Association)

The Mother/Father You Once Knew … is no longer themselves. Some elderly seem to drift into a life that you are unaware of, their minds drift back to times that you were not a part of and have no knowledge or concept of what they are attempting to get across to you. This could possibly be the signs of Alzheimer’s setting in. For additional information go to: www.alz.org (The Alzheimer’s Association)

Keep Your Loved One Busy … Senior Citizens need to know that their life has not ended just because they are no longer out working or raising their family that once took up 90% of their life. They need to know that there are many activities for them NOW … some suggestions is to contact your local Churches to see if they are a Sr. Center (these locations offer many activities for the elderly to get involved with and give them a reason to get up every day). Many hospitals offer the discount luncheons for the seniors to attend – which will give your loved one an opportunity to socialize and meet others. Remember there is always www.aarp.org for your loved one to get involved with. They also offer insurances at a very reasonable price for the elderly.
