We know that caregiving is much more than just helping with daily activities. It is, above all, relationship building and emotional support. ?? Loneliness among seniors is a serious social problem. That's why our caregivers do more than just help - they create real relationships of friendship and trust. Key aspects of our approach: ?? Individualized treatment of each client ?? Empathic listening and accompaniment ?? Activation and motivation for life ?? Support not only physically, but also mentally Behind every elderly person is a unique story, dreams and emotions. Our deepest desire is to make each senior feel special and appreciated.

This dual caregiving role can lead to significant stress. ??

Word of the Week...EMPOWER. Ever have words or messages repeatedly come to you? I do and when they do, I listen. This week, it was the word EMPOWER. I love to EMPOWER Family Caregivers to: ?? Take care of their own health, not just their family members. ?? Learn what they can- knowledge is power when Caregiving. ?? Think "outside the box" and be open to new ideas. ?? Have difficult conversations with their family ?? Have compassion for themselves, knowing they are doing the best they can in a difficult situation. ?? Identify when enough is enough and that it is acceptable to ask for help. I can't take away the responsibilities, but I can empower family members to be the best they can be, in their Caregiving role. Happy last Friday of the month, Friends. #WordOfTheWeek #familycaregivers
