7 Things A Companion Sitter Could Do For Your Mom
If you work full time, have a family of your own, and are trying to take care of your mom too, you may be burning the candle at both ends. When do you take care of yourself?
A companion sitter gives you more than a few services. A companion sitter is designed to give you peace of mind; to allow you to do the things in your own life without worrying about the daily tasks associated with your mom. A companion sitter can:
1. Help with recovery. Has your mom recently had surgery? Whether she’s bedridden, or somewhat mobile, a companion sitter can make sure all of her needs are taken care of while you are away.
2. Safeguard the client. Do the little things worry you most while you’re away? Like leaving a pot on the stove – and forgetting about it? Or wandering outside without the proper attire? A companion sitter keeps your mom safe and secure, and keeps her active and fulfilled throughout the time they are together.
3. Do you feel you’re always in the car between your kids practices and appointments, and your Mom’s doctor visits? A companion care giver can pick up some of the running around. They can get your mom to and from appointments, and even pick up prescriptions and other medical supplies on the way home – saving you precious time.
4. Grocery shopping and meal preparation. Do you worry if your mom is eating properly? Why not have someone supervise the meals, and report back to you on her eating habits.
5. You know your mom isn’t keeping up with the washing and vacuuming, yet she won’t let you do it either. A companion care giver can assist in making sure the daily chores are completed, and be there to visit with your mom along the way.
6. Remember when your two year old got bored? That’s when the trouble began. Boredom can be the cause of many things in your mom’s life as well. She may not eat or take her medicine on time because she’s bored with her lifestyle. Simply having a companion can bring back joy into her life.
7. Maybe its time your mom had some fun. It’s all you can do to get her to her doctor’s appointments; so there is no way you have time to bring her to a friend’s for lunch. Or sit down for a craft project. A companion care giver can plan fun activities that keep her healthy and motivated, and give her a reason to get up and face life in a new way.
