This is a win\u2013win.<\/strong> You stay current on issues, and your relative gets the emotional boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use the phone, email, and\/or Web-based video calls. Connect at different times of day to see what&#8217;s up. Is mom sleeping a lot? What&#8217;s on the table at dinnertime?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask about any injuries or falls. This information is important but may not be volunteered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If your relative lives alone, consider having them give you an &#8220;I&#8217;m up!&#8221; call or text by a preset hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Plan ahead. When visiting, use your time wisely.<\/strong> Do things with your family member that are just plain enjoyable. But also<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>go to medical appointments.<\/strong> Get to know the providers. Ensure that releases are signed so you can talk with the doctors as needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>address housekeeping issues.<\/strong> Fix potential hazards, such as loose rugs, rickety stairs, and burned-out light bulbs. Check for signs that regular help is needed, such as garbage or laundry piling up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>get into the kitchen.<\/strong> What is in the refrigerator? In the cupboards? Scorched pans may indicate your relative is forgetting to turn off the stove, a common sign of memory problems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>check the desk.<\/strong> And ideally, scan the checkbook. Is the register in order? Any overdue notices?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>connect with the neighbors.<\/strong> And\/or nearby close friends. Give them your contact information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stay organized. At your home, keep a binder up to date<\/strong> with documents essential to healthcare and money management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are you a long-distance caregiver?<\/strong> <br>As the greater Cleveland experts in family caregiving, we at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.careplangcm.com\/\">Careplan Care Managers<\/a><\/strong> understand how precious your time is and how difficult it is to get everything accomplished from afar.
