How valuable is it to provide continuing education to your caregivers?

I recently spoke with an agency about providing continuing education to their caregivers. They were interested but couldn't move forward due to budgetary concerns.

I was struck by this. If you are running a Home Healthcare Agency your most important resource are your Caregivers. How can you provide the best possible care when the people providing it are not continually learning and honing their skills?

I understand budgetary constraints better than most, I run businesses myself, but making sure my team knows exactly what they are doing and pushing them to stay on top of new developments is paramount to my businesses thriving.

Continuing education has to be top of mind to keep providing a standard of care not only required but demanded from your patients.

Caregiver Cloud offers over 200 courses on a variety of subjects. We are here to ensure your Caregivers provide the best care to your patients.

𝟭𝟬 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴

Caregiving is an epic journey, not because of its all inspiring stories, but because its ups and downs are full of valuable life lessons. The road to success in caregiving is rough and tough, but it is in this special role that we are taught some very important lessons in life.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝟭𝟬 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂:

1. Being organized is a lifesaver.

Caregiving is a taxing job with lots of physical exertion and time-consuming tasks. You need a system of doing things or you waste your time going from one place to another without being truly productive.

Disorganization leads to useless repetition and eventual exhaustion. You’re always pressed for time and end up with poor quality or unfinished work. The best way to survive your caregiving responsibilities is to continuously find ways to simplify your routine and genuinely connect with your patients.

2. Humor has a place in healthcare.

The best humor starts with a positive mindset and kind spirit. For it to be acceptable in a place where life can hang in the balance, it must be done with hope and acceptance. When sincere, humor is a powerful coping mechanism that allows someone to smile or laugh instead of cry, or get an instant boost of energy on tiring days.

3. In the end, health, family, love, and relationships are all that matter.

Hospice patients tend to choose these four pillars of human existence over material things when they are face-to-face with death. Their life regrets often come from choosing fleeting and temporary happiness over meaningful connections.

4. Self-care is a must.

In caregiving, you simply cannot give it all without leaving something for yourself. You risk losing yourself or giving up a rewarding job in the process. So, however pressed for time you feel or difficult your tasks, you need some me time without the guilt. The basics like proper nutrition, hydration, rest, and relaxation are critical to staying fit, focused, and uplifted.

Taking care of your health is just as important, and you can do this by keeping in touch with supportive family and friends and injecting your thoughts with inspiring messages. Fortunately, we have the technology to make this easy! With a simple tap on the screen, personal and group video calls can strengthen your relationships and be a source of support. You can also join social media groups and cope by discussing challenges and ways to overcome.

5. Compassion is the highest form of humanity.

In healthcare, the hustle and bustle of patient care can take its toll on workers so they focus on completing tasks and meeting deadlines instead of genuinely connecting with and understanding patients. Caregivers can become cold and uncaring, even though “care” is right in the job title. In caregiving, you simply cannot lose compassion. Being kind and sincere while dealing with patients is the only way to put “care” back in healthcare.

6. How you think drives your day.

Your mindset before you sleep at night and upon waking in the morning will determine your overall approach to the challenges of the coming day. If you have an I-can-do-this attitude, you’ll find it easier to let go of small annoyances and focus on your patients and tasks.

7. For patients, independence amidst limitations is gold.

Imagine a fully functioning and active adult faced with a debilitating disease that severely limits their function and movement. It can be a devastating truth to accept, let alone overcome.

It is important for these patients to do things on their own as long as they are safe. It may take much longer to perform an activity than if you do it for them, but enabling their independence helps them feel good about themselves.

8. Nothing is or will be perfect (and that’s ok).

Even if you carefully plan and organize your day, follow all instructions in the care plan, and efficiently perform your duties, something can go off track at any time and get even worse when you try to fix it. At this point, you need to keep calm and stay focused. Also, preparation will help prevent avoidable disasters.

9. You'll never know the power of song in healing and recovery until you hit “play.”

Music can reprogram a person’s inner disorder and anxiety. Whether you play or sing it, your favorite song can calm nerves, help blow off steam, and pump-up happy hormones.

10. We all are simply transient people.

Being amazed by health and life while constantly confronted with sickness and death seems to make the years on the job fly by. One of the greatest lessons of caregiving is realizing that life is a precious and fleeting gift. We’re all just passing by, so we have to make the most of the present moment while remembering the good of the past and hoping for a better tomorrow.

One of the rewards of caregiving is learning the lessons no book can teach you. In the process, you'll realize the job that challenged you has made you a stronger and more fulfilled individual. And this makes it all worth it in the end!

𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬! 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬.

Caregiving is no ordinary task. Every caregiver who’s been on the job even just a short time would probably agree. The job is physically and emotionally demanding.

Every day brings new challenges, and the same old routines can suddenly become difficult at times. As the patient’s condition changes, especially if for the worse, so does your role and responsibilities. Caregivers can sometimes find themselves unable to keep up, to the point of disregarding their own health and personal needs. Neglecting oneself in favor of caring for someone else is never a good thing.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩?

- If you're experiencing physical symptoms like headache, upset stomach and unrestful sleep.

- Being irritable, tearful, and taking it out on your patient or other people.

- Finding simple tasks too difficult and tiring.

- Feeling like giving up on a sick loved one or quitting your career as a professional caregiver.

𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬:

- Don't wait until you're exhausted and burned out before asking for help.

- If you're a family caregiver, divide tasks among other family members to balance responsibilities.

- Asking for the patient’s help, as well as the family, is something that most caregivers are embarrassed to do. They think that the reason they were hired is to do everything for their patient. But this is not so. Caregiving is a team effort, and openly communicating with the patient and family isn't only expected but necessary to ensure the well-being of all involved.

- Ask the patient to be more independent as long as they are safe. For example, if they need assistance with bathing, have them sit in a chair in the shower and ask them to wash on their own. You can tidy supplies in the bathroom while you wait for them to finish.

- Seek respite care and take a break or leave. Respite care is hiring someone to relieve you temporarily of your caregiving responsibilities. Yes, this kind of help is absolutely fine! Take this opportunity to rest, reset and reenergize.

As the saying goes, you cannot love another unless you love yourself first. In caring, this is also true. When the going gets tough for you in caregiving, don't hesitate to get support from others. Know when to ask for help and act on it sooner than later. Being a caregiver is such a rewarding job, just know that you can and should openly communicate to ask for help when it's needed!

Meditation as a Stress Reliever for Caregivers...Does It Really Work?

Stress and burnout are unpleasant to deal with as caregivers, but it’s common knowledge that they come with the job. Most self-help advice discusses the benefits of meditation. But in real life, practically speaking, does it really work?

As a caregiver, how do you find an extra ten minutes to spare for meditation when you're constantly on the go.

For those who have been caregiving for some time and may have thought meditation is an unrealistic bit of heaven for a special few, it’s hard to accept that it really can do wonders for your health.

Here are some simple tips to help relieve stress:

Pause

Drop whatever you’re doing and go to a quiet place. Alternatively, you can relax before bed to relieve stress and promote sound sleep, or try it first thing in the morning to energize you for the day.

Notice Your Environment

This step is crucial. Notice your breathing and physical self. Are you seated comfortably? How does the couch feel to the touch? Are your muscles tense?

Calm Your Mind

Imagine a happy place and notice all the wonderful details, such as how your toes dig into the sand and how the breeze smells and feels on your skin (if you imagine a beach). This is also called imagery.

Reward Yourself

Follow up with a rewarding activity, such as a warm shower, a nice snack, or a spin around the room to your favorite music.

Take A Walk

When possible, take a walk! By getting outside and getting some fresh air in your lungs, you're able to extrovert and notice your surroundings. The exercise is good, yes, but it's the outward looking at your environment that will help most. You should walk around the block until you feel a sense of serenity and calmness.

Give the above tips and suggestions a try! You will again be ready to reconnect with your patients and work as a team during your next shift. The effects of meditation may not be obvious right away, but give it some time. You’ll notice you have more patience and compassion towards your patients and are a happier person in general. Challenge yourself to try out the above and see for yourself if it's right for you!

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫?

Bless caregivers, because most people couldn’t take the stress of their job. Not everyone is built to care for a sick or disabled person on a personal level, like helping them take a bath, use the toilet, or deal with confusion when their condition is worsening.

Compared to the challenges of some other jobs, we could say that a caregiver’s stress is at a critical level—and should come with a wailing siren and an overhead speaker shouting “Warning! Warning!”

Caregivers can often feel like something’s going to fall apart at any minute, like they’re on a ship about to sink or holding a ticking bomb, milliseconds away from exploding.

If you are a caregiver, you might be nodding your head right now and hoping all your worries will one day magically disappear. \

What are common causes of caregiver stress?

1. Physical demands.

Caregiving involves a lot of lifting, pushing, pulling, prolonged standing, running, and the list goes on. Sometimes due to the urgency of a particular task, caregivers forget to use proper body mechanics. Backaches are a common consequence as well as sore or pulled muscles.

For family or live-in caregivers, it can also mean lack of sleep, especially if the patient needs constant care and attention, even as they sleep. Imagine going to bed way past midnight, after doing household chores for an elderly client with Alzheimer’s disease, only to wake up at 3 am to look for the patient, who has gotten lost on their way to the toilet. The next thing you know, morning has come and new tasks are waiting to be done.

Caregivers also struggle with their own nutrition and hydration. There are times that they can’t eat meals on time, eat nutritious foods, or drink when they are thirsty, as the demands of the job prevent them from taking time to prepare healthy foods or drink water to stay hydrated. They resort to eating microwavable or processed foods that contain high amounts of preservatives and other unhealthy ingredients.

2. Emotional roller coaster.

Caring for a patient can get emotionally exhausting at times, especially if your patient is struggling to keep it together themselves. Due to pain, frustrations, and other reasons, patients are sometimes angry, irritable, or unreasonable and they lash out at their caregivers. The caregiver, on the other hand, usually just takes it or reacts negatively. The result can be depression or anxiety on the part of the caregiver, who often feels helpless in these situations.

3. Lack of socialization.

The demands of the job keep caregivers often alone, not because they want to be, but because they have to or because they would rather take a nap or have much-needed time away. The stress comes from the realization that family time and bonding with friends become second priority.

4. Lack of “me time” and or almost anything else.

The caregiver's dedication to their job and genuine concern for the person they care for make them give all their time working to see improvements. They tend to neglect their own needs for the sake of their patients. After some time, the caregiver feels deprived and can feel strained and depressed.

Caregiver stress is all too real. In some, it leads to burnout. But in the end, it is overcoming challenges while really helping someone that makes this job truly worth cherishing. Without the bumps in the road, success would not be as rewarding. Don’t let the stresses of the job keep you from achieving your purpose, which is providing impeccable care while learning important life lessons.

Allergic reactions can be severe and it’s important to know the steps to take when a person shows sign and symptoms having a reaction. Anaphylaxis, which is the medical term for a severe allergic reaction, must seek medical attention immediately. In some cases, it can mean life or death so when in doubt call 9-1-1.

𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

After the person comes in contact with the food or substance they are allergic to, skin rashes typically occur and their face and lips can swell. They also may experience chest tightness, shortness of breath, itching and hives, swelling, pale skin, diarrhea and vomiting.

At the first sign of a severe allergic reaction, help the person sit upright safely and then call 9-1-1. If the person has an available injectable medication for anaphylaxis, called epinephrine and known as an EpiPen, assist them in self-administering the injection.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐏𝐞𝐧?

Using an EpiPen at the first sign or symptom of an allergic reaction is imperative to the person’s well-being.

#1 Remove blue safety cap on the EpiPen. Remember the blue cap should point to the sky (easy way to remember this).

#2 Press the orange tip of the EpiPen to the thigh of person having reaction.

#3 Hold the EpiPen to the thigh until you hear a click. HOLD to the thigh for three seconds.

After using an EpiPen the person who experienced the allergic reaction must seek medical attention immediately. If you’re a visual learner like me, check out this video that provides more information about using an EpiPen:

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬

#1 Tree Nuts such as peanuts, almond or pecans
#2 Eggs
#3 Shellfish
#4 Fish
#5 Wheat
#6 Cow’s Milk
#7 Soy

There are substance allergies in addition to food allergies. What do I mean by that? For me personally, I’m allergic to certain types of antibiotics and hair dye (unfortunately!). Some people have allergic reactions to pain relievers such as Codeine, medications (Penicillin is a big one for a lot of people), mold, pollen, pet dander and the list goes on and on.

As a caregiver, it’s important to be aware of any signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction. When in doubt, call 9-1-1 and seek medical attention immediately.

As a caregiver and in life in general, you will at some point have to react to a situation requiring first aid. In some situations, your knowledge and quick thinking could be the difference between life and death.

Follow the steps below when someone has gotten burned.

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬:

✅Cool the burn. Hold the burned area under cool (not cold) running water or apply a cool, wet compress until the pain eases.

✅Remove rings or tight clothing from the burned area. Try to do this quickly and gently, before the area swells.

✅ Apply lotion. Once a burn is completely cooled, apply a lotion, such as one that contains aloe vera, Vaseline or a moisturizer. This helps prevent drying and provides relief.

✅ Bandage the burn. Cover the burn with a sterile gauze bandage (not fluffy cotton as fluffy cotton can stick to the burn). Wrap it loosely to avoid putting pressure on burned skin. Bandaging keeps air off the area, reduces pain and protects blistered skin.

✅ If needed, take an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others).

𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

👉 If you or someone you know experiences a major burn, quickly call for help by dialing 9-1-1.

👉 Don't break blisters. Fluid-filled blisters protect against infection. If a blister breaks, clean the area with water (mild soap is optional). Apply an antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin. If a rash appears, stop using the ointment.

👉 Have the person seek professional care by a doctor as needed to reduce any risk of infection.
