That makes the following tip from LifeCare, Inc. timely indeed!
Two of the most important aspects of long-distance caregiving, says the LifeCare e-mail, are getting organized and staying informed about a loved one's condition. Here are some tips that will help make these challenges much easier:
• Keep an ongoing log of your loved one's needs and document important information-names, addresses, telephone numbers, etc. Consider organizing it into the following sections: Doctors; Caregivers; Hospitals; Medications; Financial & Legal; Community Resources; Miscellaneous Information.
• Establish an informal network of neighbors, friends and family members who are willing to check on your loved one periodically. Select trustworthy people, and encourage them to call you if they are concerned that your loved one's health or safety is in any way compromised. Give them your contact information and keep a list of their names, addresses and telephone numbers handy.
• Stay in close contact with your loved one yourself via phone or e-mail. Agree to contact one another each day at a specified time. If you don't hear from your loved one and can't get in touch with her/him yourself, alert a neighbor or the police department so they can check on your loved one for you.
• Ask your loved one pointed questions about her/his health, needs, worries, etc. Make sure your loved one doesn't hide the truth to prevent you from worrying or embellish stories to get you to come visit. (This is where an informal network of friends and neighbors can really help.)
• Consider traveling occasionally to assess your loved one's physical and mental health. If you want to investigate care options while you're visiting (home health care agencies, housing options, etc.), set up appointments well in advance. It may also be wise to make dental and doctor appointments for your loved one so you can attend with her/him personally.
• Think about hiring a professional Geriatric Care Manager (PGCM) if you notice signs that your loved one is beginning to need help with daily tasks or has had a significant change in health. A PGCM can assess an individual's situation, prepare a personalized care plan, and provide supervision and monitoring
services as necessary.
