From seniors in care homes and homebound, they love their caregivers in many ways.
“When I wake up in the middle of the night wet, she helps me change my clothes and beddings.”
“She reminds me to take a sip of water when my throat is dry.”
“She observes me regularly if I have a regular bowel, constipated or has a UTI since she is with me 24/7.”
Caregiving is a job for those who treat seniors like their own family. You have to learn the routine of your seniors, what food they like best, what helps them go to sleep and signs that can make their condition worse.
Motherhealth caregivers have been serving the bay area seniors for over 10 years. They are patient and understanding when seniors are not in their best mood. They provide comfort and a constant companion to them. They hone their cooking skills based on their senior clients’s need and health issues. Best of all, they treat them like family.
A caregiver must be able to cook any dish, drive, learn massage, learn other healing ways or home remedies, understand the signs and symptoms when a senior needs hospice care (due to terminal illness or inability to swallow or eat), knows how to monitor for any health changes and care for their seniors clients like their family.
Caregiving can take a toll on the health of the caregiver so that a reliever or another caregiver can take turns in helping the seniors who live at their homes, care homes, nursing homes or other facilities.
Many families can depend on the caregiver for respite care, providing the attention that the seniors need and avoiding emergencies.
