Seeing your parent grow older can sometimes be a bittersweet moment because they’ve always been your pillar of strength. Having another year should not cause sadness because despite the development of health conditions that have affected their daily functionality, they’re still the same person and you should be celebrating their milestone instead.
Expressing joy and appreciation for your loved one through a birthday party should be harmless if you’ll still apply Senior Care procedures. The Home Care in Atlanta, Georgia has caregivers that are trained and equipped with the skills to handle senior patients in different situations including events that require interacting with people.
Here are guidelines for you to follow to throw a successful party while maintaining the comfort of the celebrant:
- Pick a Theme
Gather what you know about your loved one and center the theme around their preference. - List Out Who to Invite
Most elders don’t have enough social battery to deal with a lot of people all at once so try to turn it into an intimate setting where only close family and friends are invited. Our Private duty nurses can help you with the list especially if you’re planning for it to be a surprise. - Don’t Drag it For Too Long
Here at our Non-Medical Home Care in Georgia, we’ve seen a lot of Senior patients, especially ones who have an existing medical condition, who can’t bear to sit in one position or stay too away from their bed or comfort couch for too long.
We have other home care services like mobility assistance or aiding those with mental health diseases such as patients with Alzheimer’s.
ROSEWOOD HOME CARE is looking forward to being part of your loved one’s health care team.
