Start fresh and set yourself up for a great year in 2020. With the help of home care, you start the New Year off right and take on these six helpful New Year’s resolutions.
Protect yourself from falls
Exercise can help increase strength, balance, and flexibility to help avoid dangerous falls. And, make sure to remove items that may be trip hazards, including exposed cords and area rugs; and install safety rails or grab bars where needed. Experienced caregivers can help with mobility and are trained to recognize safety hazards to help safe proof your home and prevent falls.
Eliminate Stress
Maintaining a household takes a lot of work, and it can be challenging to stay on top of things as we get older, especially when juggling health issues. Get help with light housework, meal preparation, and managing medications with in-home care. Home Health Aides can help lessen your load and assist with daily tasks giving you less to worry about and more time to enjoy your day.
Declutter
Start the New Year fresh. Decide which possessions are irreplaceable and what you can do without. A clutter-free home makes for a safer home. The task can seem daunting, but caregivers can help you take on the challenge and get you and your home organized.
Learn a new hobby
It’s never too late to learn something new. Challenge your brain and pick up a new hobby this year. Caregivers can provide more than medical care; they also provide companionship and support. With the help and encouragement from compassionate caregivers, make yourself proud and try something new.
Connect with others
Write letters to friends or invite them over for a visit. With the help of a caregiver you don’t have to give up having friends and family over or staying connected with loved ones from your past. In-home care can help keep your home in tip-top shape and help you prepare for guests. Socializing will help keep your spirits high and promote good mental health throughout the year.
Share your challenges
Don’t be afraid to share any difficulties you may be experiencing. As we get older, it can be hard to navigate changes in our health and lifestyle, but you are not alone. Caregivers and medical social workers are here to help you and identify ways to improve your physical and mental wellbeing. If you find yourself facing challenges, reach out, and get the help that you need to maintain a happier and healthier lifestyle.
