Are you planning to visit with your loved ones this Easter weekend? Take advantage of spending quality time with your friends and family! A great way to help those caregivers tending to your loved one is giving extra TLC and attention to your family member who is being cared for. If you see that maybe the caregiver is also in need of care, definitely look at options for them as they often get burned out. Allow them to take some time off or maybe help them with cooking. Also, try to avoid criticizing their caregiving techniques unless of course your loved one is living in an unsafe environment. That’s when you can consider additional help such as private duty home care services or an assisted living community. Did you know some assisted living facilities offer adult day care services or respite care? Sometimes the best way to have a wonderful holiday weekend is by avoiding conversations that may turn into heated arguments.  Enjoy your Easter weekend and most importantly, your loved ones!
