When their relatives can’t take care of them, who will?

21 junio, 2017
When relatives are unable to take care for the eldery, they tend to trust a caretaker and hire them to work at their house. This job requires trustworthy people, who are skillful and agile, to be able to mobilize the elderly. But above anything, it requires an empathic person who treats the patient with the outmost respect and kindness.

 

This person will carry out a huge task that requires commitment and responsibility. The following list will provide advices for those who are seeking a career as an elderly caretaker, a useful guide that covers the key points to improve your performance.

Basic cares for the elderly:

Physical:

  • Take proper care of personal hygiene
  • Administer medication with high responsibility
  • Collaborate in the corporal mobilization and in the displacement of the person, always trying to give the person as much autonomy as possible.
  • Be watchful of any chances or alterations in the eyes, skin and nails.
  • Make sure their always hydrated and fed
  • Monitor gastrointestinal and urinary functions

Psychic:

  • Be aware of their mood
  • Monitor any changes in their level of awareness
  • Monitor their resting times and always be alert of any alterations in their sleep.

Social:

  • Guide them in time and space, to make sure they know the day of the week, the date, the season of the year or any other specific celebration.
  • Motivate them to carry out their daily activities.
  • Help them exercise their recent memory

You should encourage their autonomy at all times, you can try to do it by assigning them small task, or asking for their help or advice to make them feel valued and to strengthen their self-esteem.

Taking their preferences into account is vital, always listen and respect their opinions. Also, be very respectful of their privacy and their intimacy; for example, always knock on their door before coming in their room.

Finally, you should always keep a proper distance and treatment. If the person refuses to perform certain activity or raises objections of any type, it’s best to avoid getting into an argument and wait for the right moment to try it again.
