Holiday blues: how to have a guilt-free holiday?
Caring for Elderly Parents during the Holidays in Portland
Everybody needs a break, and you can’t always take your aunt or your father with you on holiday break, even if you want to (there are always too many steps; getting in and out of the seat is no longer very easy, and really and truly elders find it more stressful going away than staying at home. You’ve booked the dog into the kennels, the neighbour will feed the cat. But who will make sure your parents are ok while you are away?
This is a question many struggle with over the holiday season. If your parents need daily care, and even if they don’t, caregivers can come to your home to make a check up and see if your loved ones are ok. If you have travels plans and are leaving your elderly parents behind, please look into BrightStar Care!
