As your loved one gets older they undoubtedly have more stress than you may be aware of. One of the best things they can start doing is practicing self-care but they may not know how to do this or they may need help with this. Having in-home care providers help seniors with self-care activities is one of the best ways to maintain mental and physical health and emotional wellness. A senior’s stress level is important to keep an eye on.

Here are some ways that in-home care can help seniors find self-care activities.

Help Your Senior Connect

If you do not live with your senior mom or dad it can be easy to forget to check in on them. However, this is something that you should think about, and in-home care can help you connect with your loved one more. Creating a routine of when you will visit and call will help you connect with your senior mom or dad and will help them feel loved. This may seem like a silly thing to do but it is one of the best ways to practice self-care. If your loved one loves going out, an in-home care provider can also help with transportation, this allows a senior to connect with others outside of the home. They may not do much but even going to a book club is one of the best ways to connect with the community and enjoy others.

Dancing at Home

Learning a new skill is important, but movement is one of the best ways to not only take care of your mental health but also your physical health. When you encourage a senior to workout it can seem like a chore. Instead of making a workout routine a senior dreads, in-home care can help them find something else they love and look forward to doing every day. In-home care can find YouTube videos with beginner dance lessons and help your senior work through the moves. Your loved one might find they enjoy Zumba or ballet at home!

Going to Bed On Time

Sleep is a crucial part of health. It allows your body to shut down, sort through the day, and unwind essentially. If your loved one is feeling so overwhelmed they are not sleeping well, they may need more help. In-home care can help your loved one unwind before bed, get ready to sleep, and ensure they are going to bed around the same time every night. Put sleep as a priority can help your senior feel more calm and in control during the day and it is a huge part of self-care that many people don’t even consider when thinking about what they can do to practice self-care.

Enjoying Nature

Your loved one may not move around as much as they used to and that is okay. Instead of going on hikes, a senior can sit outside and drink their morning tea or coffee while watching nature. This is the best way to find focus and clarity while enjoying the soothing sounds of wildlife in the backyard.
