How do you take care of your elderly relatives? I feel like it can be really challenging at times.
I try to check in with them regularly, even if it’s just a phone call or a short visit. Staying connected helps them feel cared for. How often do you see yours?
I try to help by organizing their meds in a pillbox and keeping a list of their appointments. Also I started using fall detection from https://bewellalert.com/fall-detection/ for taking care of the elderly. This device can automatically alert caregivers or emergency services the moment a fall is detected. This quick response can drastically reduce the time an injured elderly person remains unattended, which is crucial in preventing further complications like hypothermia or pressure sores. Even if the person is unconscious or unable to reach a phone, help can still be on the way. This peace of mind is invaluable for both the elderly and their families.
sounds great. I visit when I can, but sometimes I feel like it’s not enough. I worry they might feel lonely. Loneliness is a big issue for older people. Maybe setting up a routine—like a weekly dinner or a daily call—could help.
