Everyone deserves a little pampering, and seniors are no exception. Spa treatments, either at home or at the salon, aren’t just about looking good—they can help reduce stress, foster a sense of connection, and boost a senior’s confidence. Dedicating time to self-care can make a world of difference and can be a fun, meaningful activity for seniors.

Caring for an aging loved one is an important responsibility, but it can also be overwhelming and potentially lead to caregiver burnout. Sometimes, you may not realize when your caregiving duties are having an adverse effect—both physically and mentally—on yourself. Recognizing any signs of stress and emotional strain early can help prevent caregiver burnout.

While many families have trepidations about professional home care, there are pleasant surprises they discover, from the emotional relief of extra support to the unique ways professional caregivers enhance daily life. These surprises reshape how they view caregiving from an experienced agency, like Visiting Angels.
