Care Staff Assists Elderly Management of Diabetes
Here are 5 quick benefits on how homecare staff can assist older adults managing diabetes:
— Meal preparation: Home caregivers can prepare meals that align with their senior‘s dietary guidelines or even shop for groceries on behalf of their clients.
— Medication management: Home care workers can help older adults monitor blood glucose levels and ensure that any other medications are taken at their regular schedule.
— Symptom management: A home caregiver notices when elderly are displaying symptoms of high or low blood sugar and gets them immediate medical help.
— Mobility: Whether it is a drive to appointments or walking around the house, home care staff make sure elderly can move around safely.
