Everyday Tips for Caregivers




 
 

1.Create a Schedule
When you care for someone at home, days can feel long and unfocused. Give them structure by making a schedule. Set times for meals, personal care, household chores, exercise, activities, and relaxation. Also set sleep and wake times to make sure both of you get enough rest.

 




 
 

2.Get Organized
Paperwork can pile up. To keep things running smoothly, put prescriptions, insurance info, doctor contacts, and health history in one place, like a multi-pocket folder. Keep track of appointments in a paper, computer, or smartphone calendar.
