Although in these fast times of technology where we seldom find times for ourselves, getting time for parents and taking care of them can be extremely difficult.
Here are some of the ways to take care of your elderly parents
Be in touch
No matter how busy and hectic life you are living, you need to be in touch with your parents. Make sure that you see them before going to work in the morning and while coming back, spend some quality time with them. Ask them how was their day? Anything they need? Pay attention to their health home tests like cholesterol test Dubai. And things like this.
Make your presence felt
In the night time or at day, make your presence felt. Call them in the day while you are in your office. Turn off the lights of their room and sit with them for a while. Make sure you buy and provide all the necessities needed by them.
Hire a nurse or attendant
If you live in another city or faraway from your parents and cannot be with them what you can do is to hire a nurse or attendant for them who’s responsibility is to take care of them. These attendants are not only professional and knowledgeable but they also become much needed companions to your parents.
Make sure they have healthy diet
You need to take a keen interest in their eating habits and diet. What do they like to eat, what have they eaten, and most importantly what is beneficial and healthy for them? Make sure that your parents are fed with a well-balanced diet that is prescribed by their physician. You can also download a health coach App to follow up with them.
