Pop and Go: Helping Seniors In and Out of Bed
By Ewa Frydel, Owner
Many times, waking up has never been easy.
Let’s face it.
However, after a decent rest overnight and rising refreshed, getting out of bed was a breeze and something we aimed for every day.
Knowing there’s a good night’s sleep in our near future helps getting to bed become more enjoyable.
Ahh, the luxury of being young and having some form of control over our rise and shine routines.
How about for our elders?
It may not be so controllable. Exciting. Hopeful.
For family caregivers, they know a thing or two about the difficulties of helping seniors out of bed and climbing into bed.
Challenges may be:
-stiff back
-Arthritis
-grogginess
-dementia
-difficulty hearing alarms
-fatigue
-achy joints
The list goes on.
The same challenges can occur when your senior goes to bed, too.
You may need to help with lifting or carefully moving your senior loved one’s body to comfortably and slowly rise out of and lay into their bed to ensure the least pain and struggle.
Over time, this can wear on you. This can cause ailments and joint pain for you, as well.
That’s why our Pop and Go program has a new service that sends a caregiver to your house to specifically help with getting your senior out of bed and/or helping them get into bed.
All you need to do is book the time for the caregiver to come into your senior’s space and they will take 15-25 minutes to assist.
Why utilize this service?
-You may need to be at work early or take kids to school and can’t be on time for your parent.
-You recently had an injury preventing you from helping your senior.
-You are on vacation and this is the one thing your aging mom or dad struggles with.
-You just can’t lift or help. Period.
