Though Celebrate Life Day, which lands on January 22, was originally instituted to celebrate the children in our lives, it has come to signify all that’s good about being alive. It’s easy to forget sometimes, but we are all fortunate to be here. Take time to celebrate that the good far outweighs the bad in this life. ... It all starts with gratitude and appreciation for where you are right now, and wherever you hope your dreams take you. Every life is precious, individual, and a huge gift, so take a little extra time today to celebrate it. #celebratelifeday #celebrate #smiles #celebratelife #celebratelifeandlove #celebrationoflife #celebrationoflifeandlove #smilemore #smilealways #gratitude #appreciation #lifeisagift #lifeisprecious #goodfaroutweighsthebad #liveandlove #bealive #liveandlearn #selfcare #mindfulness #manifest #selflove #positive #legacyconciergeservices #seniorcommunity #lookafterourseniors #seniorliving #elderly

We've all had those days where the voice in our head is telling us that we are not doing our best. Don't listen to that voice - it's not true! That voice is NOT an accurate representation of your hard work and what others think of you. In fact, you should not judge yourself at all. ... Judging yourself will only make your inner critic harsher and that is the last thing anyone needs. Especially as a caregiver, your hard work deserves to be praised. Here are some tips to help you stop the unfair self-judgement: 1. Notice when you speak negatively about yourself. Addressing when you talk down to yourself is a great moment to take a pause and take a mental note of why and when you are doing it. 2. Distract yourself when you hear your negative thoughts. Take the time to pivot or stop whatever you are doing to switch the thoughts to a more positive or neutral side. 3. Comparison is the thief of joy. If you've heard of that then you know comparing yourself to others will never make you happy. Instead of comparing yourself to others, acknowledge that everyone has their own path to follow and you are simply on your own path. 4. Look at the big picture and reflect. Instead of automatically criticizing yourself for not living up to some societal ideal, think about what you truly value. Acknowledge how far you have come and all of the things you have accomplished. Here at Legacy, we want to support all caregivers because we understand all of the unseen work that goes into the job.

It's been two years into dealing with COVID-19, and caregivers need our help! Burnout is very real and it is possible to feel burnt out as a caregiver. If you feel you are getting close to feeling burnt out, look at some tips below about how you can continue to help a loved one live at home with assistance. Know your limitations. ... It means trying to anticipate the future needs of the one you are assisting and the needs of your other family members so you can better prepare and assess what needs to be done. This way you don't burn yourself out and can no longer help your loved one or your family members. Evaluate the finances. It is so important to evaluate the finances of your loved one and determine what their monthly expenses are and how much "extra" there is to pay for additional assistance. This is to help you understand how much does your loved one needs and if there need to be any cutbacks as care can be quite expensive and most insurances do not cover everything. Figuring out the care needs. When you understand what the care needs are for now and the future you can determine what you should do to help your loved one with their care. Planning ahead will help with the panic when there is a future health crisis. If you need help on your care journey with your loved one, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are here to help you and your loved ones find the best solutions for your lifestyle. https://www.legacyconciergeservices.com/ https://abc11.com/caregivers-corner-caregiving-alone-car// #supportcaregivers #wesupportcaregivers #caregiver #caregiving #caregivinglife #caregivingsupport #familycaregiving #caregiving101 #assistedliving #caregiversupport #seniorcommunity #lookafterourseniors #caregivingfortheelderly #homehealthcare #seniorcare #seniorservices #eldercare #elderlycare #alzheimerscaregiversupport #care #mentalhealth #dementia #seniorliving #elderly #homehealthcare #caregiverlife #legacyconciergeservices

As a caregiver, you have to be realistic about what can and can’t be controlled. You can’t control that your loved one has a chronic or progressive disease nor can you control the impact of that disease. But you can control how you respond to the situation by taking ownership of your caregiver role and recognizing that it might be a long-term job. Your attitude can be the biggest barrier to taking care of yourself and doing the best job for your loved one. Tell yourself tha...t you need to stay healthy and that you have rights and needs too. It’s worth reminding yourself: You’ll do the best you can, but sometimes you’ll need help along the way. Being a caregiver requires a lot of physical and mental energy. But adopting a positive mindset can help turn things around and make our days better and our smiles brighter. Even on the days where our loved ones might not be willing to receive care, adopting a positive mindset is still helpful. We can’t change the other person’s behavior, but we can focus on our own.

With the cold winter months , it is so important to keep our loved ones active and warm. The winter months can be challenging, especially when you are a caregiver, because this is a historically dangerous time for seniors. Here are some tips to keep your loved ones safe and healthy during the winter season. 1. Stay hygienic. Regularly washing your hands and regularly cleaning and disinfecting your loved one's home reduces their exposure to germs. This helps keep any infec...tions or illnesses at bay. 2. Use protective gear to prevent the spread of illnesses. With or without COVID-19, using masks and hand sanitizer, are good practices to continue, especially if you’re in close contact with your loved ones. 3. Make sure the living space is ready for the cold temperatures. It would be a good idea to make sure the living space they are in is safe and free of hazards that could potentially happen during bad weather or a storm. This includes checking the roof, sidewalks, gutters, walls, basements, and any area around the house that they might visit. 4. Have an emergency plan. Create an emergency plan in case your older adult needs to be moved to another location during extreme weather. Also, in case you are unable to be the primary caregiver due to your own illness or emergency, plan for a reliable and trustworthy family member or friend to take over for you. To keep everyone on the same page, share the emergency plan with your older adult and other family members too. And if needed, help your older adult become familiar with the back-up caregiver prior to an emergency to make the transition smoother. We at Legacy Concierge Services want to help your loved ones stay warm and healthy!

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. - Martin Luther King Jr. Having faith is about believing and trusting even though there might not be any physical proof or evidence.
