Caregivers and Hospice Care

 

The primary goal of a hospice care caregiver is to provide as much comfort as possible for the patient. Patient receiving hospice care is usually at the final stages of their life. During this stage of their life, they could be suffering from pain or physical discomfort. It is important as a non-medical caregiver to work with the family, register nurses, and anyone caring for the patient to ensure the patient is as comfortable as they can be. This can include helping the patient with personal hygiene issues, moving and massaging the patients to avoid bed sores, and simply staying by the patient’s side. A caregiver should also take into account the hardship hospice has on a family. When necessary, provide care and condolences for the family as well. It is important to respect both the patient and the family. Learn more about “Hospice & Palliative Care” from Helpguide.org.

Now that we understand the benefits of creativity, how do you , as a caregiver, get the elderly involved in these creative activities? We encourage caregivers to get to know and learn the senior’s personality and understand what sorts of activities the senior will be interested in. Does the senior like to listen to music? If so, get him or her involved in learning a new instrument. If there is limited resources, look into community based events and services the elderly can get involved in. Look into events such as  grand parents day or senior art day at the community center where the services is open to the public. Interest plays an important role in the senior’s participation of the activity  The more interested the senior is in the activity, the more likely they will partake in the activity.

The Benefits of Creative Activities For Seniors

When caring for seniors and elderly, it’s important to incorporate creative activities such as art, music, or crafts into daily living. In part of their mind alertness webinar series, American Society on Aging and Creativity & Aging, talks about the importance of art, music, and creativity exercise in a senior’s life in “Creativity, Art, and The Mature Mind“.  Caregivers should encourage and assist seniors to learn these activities as skills. The process of learning how to paint, dance, or play an instrument can help stimulate the mind.  The learning process presents a challenge to the senior. The elderly then need to test different methods to solve it and interact with others to share the challenge. Then the senior receives feed backs from others which could encourage this behavior.  By using the body and mind the senior is enhancing it and not loosing it because it is not used. Learning a new skill through creative activities stimulate the mind and promote social interactions to avoid mental diseases such as depression. Caregivers should promote creative activities for seniors as it has many beneficial factors for the senior’s overall health. It is also an activity the senior will enjoy.
