As the New Year approaches once again, it may often bring a feeling of optimism, which is much needed given this challenging time. That\u2019s a welcoming gift, especially for those of us caring for the elderly<\/a>. To help maximize this optimism, we have gathered 13 New Year\u2019s resolutions geared specifically toward caregivers.<\/p>\n

New Year\u2019s Resolutions Geared Specifically Toward Caregivers<\/h2>\n

#1: Write a Personal Mission Statement for the Year<\/h3>\n

Chicago-based author and Senior Caregiving Expert Joy Loverde offer a way to plan for a positive year ahead. Loverde is the author of several books, including Who Will Take Care of Me When I\u2019m Old?<\/i> \u201cAt the end of every year I create a personal mission statement… that provides me with a path for success in my personal relationships,\u201d she explains. With goals clearly stated, \u201cI never have to wonder \u2013 Did I say “I love you” enough?\u201d Set a few benchmarks for yourself and post them where you can see them for daily motivation.<\/p>\n

#2: Learn to Take a Break<\/h3>\n

This definitely should be one of your New Year\u2019s goals. The key word here is \u201clearn.\u201d People tell you every day you should take a break, but we all know it\u2019s easier said than done. \u201cCaregivers are known for putting their loved one\u2019s needs above their own,\u201d says Peter Ross, CEO of Senior Helpers<\/a> in Towson, MD. \u201cWhile the goal is to give your aging loved ones the best quality of life possible, you also need to understand the importance of taking care of yourself. Time-outs, yoga and getting \u2018you time\u2019 time in are great starters to creating work-life balance.\u201d<\/p>\n

#3: Get Moving<\/h3>\n

Another priority goal: Activity. Keeping your body moving, blood circulating and muscles working is crucial to your own health, but you may not feel like you have time. Start with a commitment of 5 to 10 minutes and then increase that if you can. It doesn\u2019t have to be all at once to bring benefits. It\u2019s also a good way to engage more with aging loved ones. For example, Ross suggests creating a 3-day walking challenge. \u201cHelp them walk a few minutes each day, and increase the time daily \u2013 with a rest day every so often, of course!\u201d This way, both of you get some activity.<\/p>\n

#4: Eat Smart<\/h3>\n

Grabbing some grub on the run is no crime, but restaurant food (even fast food) can get expensive and isn\u2019t always the best way to support your health and your family. Most major food magazines and websites feature recipes that take 30 minutes or less. And lots of grocery stores now offer online ordering, enabling you to schedule a pick-up or in some cases a home delivery.<\/p>\n

#5: Choose a Hobby<\/h3>\n

Get crafty about what activities or hobbies you can do safely within your home.\u00a0 Logic-based puzzles and board games are great ways to work out your brain muscles and improve memory. If available, use technology to show and share what you’ve made with friends or family.<\/p>\n

#6: Plan Ahead<\/h3>\n

Caring for our parents often gives us an opportunity to consider our own desires for aging well. The New Year is a terrific time to jot down a few ideas about how and where you\u2019d like to age, and then meet with your CPA, banker or financial planner to discuss what\u2019s needed to get there. Also make sure you have the right legal documents to ensure your wishes are followed, such as durable and health care powers of attorney, wills, etc.<\/p>\n

#7: Tackle Stress<\/h3>\n

Stress has an enormous impact on our day-to-day quality of life, and our overall health. \u201cStress is like the monkey on our back, gripping your neck with its hands until you can\u2019t breathe,\u201d says Bobbe White, author of If Stress is Garbage, I\u2019ve Bin There, Recycled That<\/i><\/a>. That\u2019s why it\u2019s critical to reduce stress wherever possible. Even small things like 5 minutes of quiet breathing in your car every day can help take the edge off.<\/p>\n

#8: Capture Memories<\/h3>\n

One of the hardest things about losing a parent is wanting to hear some of their old stories or understand family connections. This year, commit to listening to your older loved ones to get them to share your and their favorite memories<\/a>. You may just take some notes, or you can make audio or video recordings using your cell phone. This is also a great way to get your kids engaged with their elders \u2013 young people are very adept at making excellent digital audio and video.<\/p>\n

#9: Investigate Options for Your Future<\/h3>\n

Although it can feel uncomfortable, planning ahead for assisted living, long-term care and death makes going through those transitions easier for everyone. Resolve this year to investigate options for care and the monetary requirements for getting it. This includes understanding your parents\u2019 desires and financial position, as well as your own.<\/p>\n

#10: Increase Safety for Your Parents<\/h3>\n

A recent study published in the Journal of Safety Research<\/i><\/a> found that each year, \u201cmillions of people over 65 are treated in emergency rooms, with over 800,000 hospitalized for broken hips or head injuries, and 53% of those with fall-related hip fractures fall again within six months.\u201d Whether your parents live independently or with you, make a point this year to learn about fall hazards, including medications and medical conditions. Then take steps to reduce the likelihood of a trip and tumble, like re-routing cables and cords and investigating a medical alert solution with fall detection.<\/p>\n

#11: Get Organized<\/h3>\n

This is another item that\u2019s on everyone\u2019s list of New Year\u2019s resolutions, but it\u2019s a good one, especially when you\u2019re caring for aging parents. Make a short list of things that need better organization, like the kids\u2019 homework zone, Mom\u2019s closet or even the files on your computer. Then make a plan to complete at least one each month. If you\u2019re not a master organizer, you probably have a friend who\u2019s one. If you feel emotional about clearing up the clutter, you may need more structured assistance. \u201cI see drawers and closets stuffed to the gills \u2013 and typically what is being kept is because [we] feel guilty about letting things go,\u201d says Bill Bliesath<\/a>, a professional organizer with offices in Los Angeles and Minneapolis. Someone who\u2019s not close to you can often be more effective at helping you work through those feelings so you can make better decisions about what to keep, donate or toss.<\/p>\n

#12: Create a Family Calendar<\/h3>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s too easy to lose track of the multiple deadlines and requirements without a planner,\u201d Bliesath notes. An old-school desk planner or calendar is useful, but online versions that reside in the cloud and are accessible from any device any time are even better. Most enable you to assign each person a color and control access to editing. Most importantly, you can set up reminders so you don\u2019t miss a thing. It\u2019s also another way to get kids engaged. \u201cParents should be involved daily checking the planner and helping the kids keep it updated,\u201d he adds.\u00a0 \u201cLearning good planner use skills is an incredibly valuable life lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n

#13: Ask For and Be Willing to Accept Help<\/h3>\n

This may be the most important New Year\u2019s resolution of all for caregivers. None of us likes to feel needy, so we frequently forgo asking for assistance. This year, resolve to lighten your emotional and physical load as much as possible. \u201cStart accepting help from friends, family, neighbors, and professionals who are willing to pitch in and help with caregiving,\u201d suggests Jennifer L. FitzPatrick, founder of Jenerations Health<\/a> in Chester, MD, and author of Cruising Through Caregiving: Reducing the Stress of Caring for Your Loved One<\/i><\/a>. And don\u2019t be afraid to ask people for specific support, like picking up your kids at school or dropping off the dry cleaning. You might even consider a ride-hailing service to ferry your parent or children from one appointment to another.<\/p>\n

Following some or all of these resolutions will make life better for you and the person you\u2019re caring for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
