One great tip for caregivers

October 21, 2014 · Leave a Comment

Be prepared to rearrange your house to adjust to a new caregiving situation.

“Be ready to adjust your life around your caregiving and to rearrange your house for that person’s needs and handicaps.
Get professional training before you bring them home if you’ll need to do any procedures, but don’t try to remember it — write it down. And hang in there! ‘Let go and let God’ is my motto.”
– Raegena McCage, primary caregiver for her father
