During the holidays, spending time with an aging parent or loved one is one of the greatest gifts. If you\u2019ve noticed some signs that he or she might be having challenges living on their own, this can cause worry that can impact everyone involved.\u00a0 Some levels of stress can be good, but too much can impact caregiver health.<\/p>\n

As part of the sandwich generation, you may feel overwhelmed juggling the many hats you wear. From caring for your kids to helping or caring for your parents and working hard at your own career to caring for yourself, it’s a lot to manage.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

CarePatrol helps Vermont families to navigate the senior living space and help you find the right community for your loved one. Our three step process clears any confusion. We ask the right questions about your loved ones emotional and physical needs and match you with the top communities that fit those requirements, based on our rigorous vetting process. We will take you on a personal, hands-on\u00a0 tour of each location so you can get a first-hand feel for what each has to offer. You won\u2019t be alone in making the decision, as we are here with guidance and will even help make move-in day much less stressful. There is no cost to the family so contact us today to learn more.<\/p>\n

Rather than becoming stressed, here are some things to look out for, with the ultimate goal of keeping your loved one safe and happy:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Changes in their health: Chronic illnesses, falls, accidents or a newly diagnosed medical issue can be an indication that your loved one will need more help. Learning more about senior solutions now is better than having to do so during a medical crisis.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Memory concerns arise: When a loved one struggles to remember or has been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer\u2019s, specialized assistance from a memory care community can make all the difference in their quality of life and safety.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Personal care slips: If your loved one has always dressed impeccably but seems to be letting things like personal hygiene slip, they may be struggling to take care of themselves. Depression is another reason for a decline in personal self-care.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Isolation: Nearly half of adults over the age of 60 are at risk of social isolation. Seniors can face challenges in social engagement due to health issues, lack of transportation, lack of access to technology and depression.<\/p>\n

CarePatrol understands the stress that family caregivers can go through, especially during and right after the holiday season. For over 3 decades, we\u2019ve been helping families like yours find senior solutions tailored to your loved one and their needs.\u00a0 We would love to help your family and be a resource.<\/p>\n
