Preparing for a Doctor's Appointment: How to Make the Trip An Easy One

When adults become senior citizens, they may need more medical attention than they have previously been accustomed. Sometimes seniors' lives end up revolving around doctors’ appointments, the scheduling and preparation of which can become burdensome.

There are ways to make these trips easier for your loved ones.

1. Set reminders. If you don't use a cell phone, not to worry; electronic reminders are not necessary. Instead, remember to write all of your doctors’ appointments on two calendars. The caregivers from Visiting Angels advise you to keep one calendar at home (preferably in a place that is easily visible) and another in your purse or bag. This way, when you are at the doctor's office and need to schedule a followup, you will have a calendar handy.

2. Keep a folder for each specialist you see. In these folders, it's very important to not only keep all paperwork, but Visiting Angels suggests you keep several specialist based lists, categorizing your aches, pains, and prescriptions. Remember to bring these folders with you to your appointments.

3. Don't be afraid to ask for help driving to and from appointments. Going to the doctor can be stressful and painful for both the body and the mind, and driving under this type of stress is dangerous. At Visiting Angels, caregivers are ready to assist seniors with their transportation needs. When it comes to senior care, Visiting Angels has but one goal: to make sure their companions are comfortable, safe, and cared for.

Visiting Angels in Winter Park cares deeply about seniors, and when it comes to preparing for doctors’ appointments, organization is key. In-home care gives your loved ones peace of mind along with the freedom they need. Visiting Angels provides that service and respects the needs of their patients and their families.
