Five New Year’s Resolutions for Family Caregivers in Longmont, CO and Surrounding Areas

This year, make New Year’s resolutions that will improve the quality of life for you and your loved one by working with companion home care providers from Visiting Angels of Boulder County

With the beginning of the new year, it is the perfect time to make resolutions that can help you lead a happier, healthier life, take better care of yourself and maintain a perfect balance between looking after your loved one and your other obligations.

If you’re starting to feel burnt out as your loved one’s caregiver, consider working with Visiting Angels of Boulder County. Our companion home care services have helped many seniors in Longmont, Boulder, Louisville and surrounding communities live safely and comfortably at home. Our caregivers can help you and your loved one fulfill resolutions that will help the both of you live a happier and healthier new year.

Here are five New Year’s resolutions every family caregiver should make for their loved ones and themselves.

Get the Right Help for Your Parent

Caring for your loved one all on your own may not just be overwhelming, it can also jeopardize your physical and mental health. To make more time for yourself this year, you should consider hiring a caregiver from Visiting Angels of Boulder County that can take away some of the burdens of caregiving from you. With a professional looking after your loved one, you can take better care of yourself while knowing that they are in good hands when you are unable to visit.

Include 30-Minute Walks in Your Schedule

With a companion home care provider from Visiting Angels of Boulder County looking after your loved one, you should be able to find the time for some exercising. Ideally, you should incorporate 30-minute walks into your daily routine, which reduces stress, improves stamina, helps with weight loss and more. If possible, encourage your loved one to join you on some of your walks, as they are an excellent form of physical activity for seniors too.

Take Good Care of Your Car

The one thing you never need is car trouble. Problems with your car will not just decrease your mobility but put a serious dent in your budget. To prevent this, get regular, preventative checks for your vehicle and follow your mechanic’s instructions and recommendations. The same goes for your loved one’s car, if they still drive one.

If they do not drive a car anymore, you should keep in mind that our companion home care services include incidental transportation, meaning one of our expert caregivers can take your loved one anywhere they need to go in the area.

Follow a Healthier Diet

Many people’s main new year’s resolution is to lose weight. Whether you also want to shed some pounds or just lead a healthier lifestyle, it all starts with a healthy diet. To make things more interesting, you should ask your loved one to join you. This way, you can encourage each other to eat better and also cook healthy, well-balanced meals together, which allows for plenty of time for bonding.

It is good to know that our companion home care services include meal planning and preparation so your loved one can eat healthy every day and have someone to keep them company during mealtime when you are unable.

Spend More Quality Time with Your Loved One

When you choose to hire a caregiver from Visiting Angels of Boulder County to help you out, you will have more time not just for yourself but your loved one too. Instead of having to perform various caregiver tasks, you can spend much more time together, doing the things you both love.
