- Warning Signs: The Seven Activities of Daily Living, with Marlene Diaz
Marlene Diaz at Hospitality Home Care talks about the warning signs of Activities of Daily Living, when its time to bring mom or dad some help in the home. One is forgetfulness: forgetting to take medications or taking them too often. In those situations, they are forgetting to prepare meals, or not knowing how to turn on the stove. That’s when the caregiver comes in and starts meal-prepping for them, labeling where things are. Each situation is unique.
- Caregiver Appreciation with Marlene Diaz
Marlene Diaz at Hospitality Home Care talks about family caregivers. The caregiver gets overlooked often. Hospitality Home Care periodically asks how the caregiver is doing and what needs to be addressed. We introduce the caregiver and go over things with them. As an agency, its important to tell the caregivers how much they are appreciated, we provide monthly bonuses for them and birthday cards with gifts. Having a feeling of appreciation makes it more than a job, it’s a recognition that they’re making a difference. If you have a happy caregiver, you’ll have a happy client.
