Why do we procrastinate when it comes to Care?
Close your eyes and pick something small you are procrastinating on, maybe cleaning out a drawer. How good would it feel to knock that out real quick? Now think of something big (meaningful) you have been putting off. Why have you not taken action on it? I guess that it is important to you. You are afraid you may make the wrong decision.
Procrastination frequently happens when we think of the “most important things” like senior care and our family. Maybe you have noticed things your loved one is doing that show that they are getting older. Some things are safe and other things that can be dangerous.
Here are a few things to look out for:
- Being forgetful –
- Falling or having frequent trips to the ER –
- Talking to telemarketers –
- Messy or not caring for themselves properly
If you are unsure whether your loved one is in danger, it is an excellent time to call me. I can help listen to what is happening and provide you with options. Once you start taking action on the thing you are procrastinating on, you will feel better. You may save their life.
This month we have a caregiver referral campaign.
If you refer a caregiver to us and they meet the qualifications and start working with us, you get $100, and the new caregiver also gets $100.
It is easy:
- Apply at www.slocaregivers.com/caregiver-form
- set up an interview with David
- Complete the background screening and paperwork
*San Luis Obispo Caregivers, A Referral Agency will pay the $100 Referral fee to the new caregiver and the person who referred them. The new caregiver must work a minimum of 4 hours for both parties to receive the $100. The Campaign ends on November 30, 2022. —
