It would be beneficial to everyone in the family to seek assistance when it comes to holiday planning so your aging loved one does not feel the pressure of the holiday preparations and your aging loved one can have a caregiver companion that will ensure they are being well cared for so you can be at ease while moving along with your holiday planning.
When looking for a home care agency, make sure the caregivers are employees (not independent contractors), are bonded and insured, have passed criminal and driving background checks, are trained and supervised. The agency should be able to provide a substitute caregiver if the primary caregiver is ill, and will work with your schedule (including weekends and nights) to provide care when you need it. With a little bit of planning, you can reduce your stress and have a wonderful, memorable holiday!! “
