7.Encourage Self-Care
Help keep your loved one’s age, illness, or disability from taking a toll on their self-esteem. You can restore their feeling of control by letting them take as active a part as possible in their own care. Encourage them to make decisions and do tasks they can manage — like dressing or using the toilet. Let them help choose and plan activities. It will give them a sense of purpose, and make your job easier.
8.Prepare for Emergencies
Plan for the unexpected. Ask the doctor what symptoms to watch out for, such as chest pain, trouble breathing, or dizziness, and what to do if they happen.
