Small steps are what it takes. Keep up the that conscious effort and before you know it you’ll be able to say “No” to soda too.

]]> Comment on Hiring A Caregiver by Alaina http://www.love2livecare.com/archives/hiring-a-caregiver/#comment-70 Alaina Wed, 20 Apr 2011 20:16:05 +0000 http://www.love2livecare.com/?p=233#comment-70 I recently went through the process of finding in-home care for my elderly mother. I was nervous about leaving her, and when I asked tough questions of the agency that was recommended to me, I was shocked to learn that after the initial intake process, they basically have almost no visibility to the actual day-to-day care! I interviewed 5 or 6 more agencies, and all but one uses care journals that sit in my mother’s home such that the agency really has very limited idea of what’s going on. I finally found an agency that uses a “point-of-care system.” I highly recommend this! I login at a website called “ClearCare” and I can see what is happening every day. I know when my mom’s caregiver clocks in at her house, and when she completes specific tasks. I’m alerted if the caregiver does not arrive on time or if something isn’t done properly. This has been a very difficult process for me, but I do find peace of mind in knowing exactly what’s happening every day.

Since this presentation I've made a conscious effort to drink my daily supply of water--half my body weight in ounces. I don't allow myself a second cup of coffee until I've had all of my water! Also, I just purchased my first box of "Truvia" to replace my Splenda addiction. I still can't give up my jumbo-size Diet Soda from McDonalds! Small steps..... Elizabeth inspire me!

I believe retirement should be a time of less stress and worry, but not necessarily less activity. The type of activity that you find stimulating may change, but we'll just have to embrace those changes and keep making a difference! I completely agree!
