CARING FOR
THE ELDERLY
Though it is a tough job most of the times, caregivers need
to be patient when helping the elderly eat, bathe, dress, use
the restroom and avoid any falls. The elderly are prone to
falls as their sense of balance is not perfect, and quick turn
of the head also might trigger vertigo or confusion. There
are many cases of the elderly persons walking straight into
a wall, mistaking it for the door, or falling down in the
bathroom due to a wet floor
Giving Proper
Care & Attention
If a person is immobile, then a caregiver is necessary, but it is
important to encourage independence. Some caretaker treat the
elderly as a piece of furniture, to be cleaned and maintained; they
think that such persons are not capable of decision making. This
strips patients of their dignity or their self esteem. We should think
that our role is to support what the infirm elderly can do, and allow
them to lead a good life in their declining years
Encouraging and
Praising Independence
There are people who think that the elderly do not need
three square meals a day, and should manage with less, as
they are ‘old’. Even old, or infirm persons desire certain foods
or favorite treats
Responding
Compassionately to Needs
While an elderly person will need lesser calories than
an active adult, they still need a full meal with all
nutrients. A patient’s dietary needs must be taken into
consideration, such as a low-salt diet or foods to
avoid due to diabetes. But, by no means should they
be given the same monotonous food like plain curd
rice or khichdi, day in and day out
