Helping A Loved One Cope With Stress

There are times when the pain and aches that the elderly are experiencing are physical manifestations of stress. Their inability to communicate their frustrations better would often result in throwing tantrums or having low energy. When left unresolved, their stress would result in more severe health problems like high blood pressure and diabetes.

Personal care towards older adults shouldn’t be limited to attending to their physical needs as it is equally important to check on their mental health.

In promoting senior care wellness, our homecare in Westmoreland provides our clients with the necessary tools and assistance to help them manage their mental health.

Here are some tips stress management tips that caregivers should try.

• Relaxation Techniques
  Relaxation could come in different forms, it could be a walk in the park or meditation in the morning. They can also try reading a book or listening to some laid-back music.
• Establishing a Peaceful Environment
  Our assisted living services are dedicated to creating a relaxing care setting for our senior patients. We encourage regular cleaning including the removal of clutters which could be difficult at times as there are older adults who like to hoard things. It would also be beneficial to have good lighting and calming scents and to reduce noise or anything deemed disruptive.
• Have a Companion
  Our home care services in Beaver, PA can provide your loved one with a trusted companion. Part of what raises an elderly’s stress levels is that they often feel like they are not heard. Lending an ear could make a big difference.
