No matter who and how many you care for, it's imperative that you update the caregiver routines regularly. Usually you'll hit a bump in the caregiver road that calls you to review the situation and make some appropriate changes.
As you consider the update, the essential questions are what's working and what's not working? It is a good idea to consider these questions with regard to all aspects of the caregiving jobs you're involved with.
Communication
Caregiving in any sphere requires good communication. When working with a team, you have to strike the right balance of just right communication. This isn't always easy and sometimes virtually impossible, yet it's a good idea to promote best possible communication if possible.
Priorities
It's also important to identify your priorities with regard to the caregiver role. Typically safety is a top priority while comfort, health, and happiness a close second. When identifying the priorities, you may find that you've been giving some aspects of the role more attention than worthwhile. Know what and who it is you are working for.
Support
One of the most difficult aspects of caregiving is the isolation one often faces. In many caregiving situations, the caregiver is alone with regard to the caregiving situation and the work required to do a good job. As much as possible seek out a support team that helps you to maintain the momentum and do the good work possible.
Routine
Sticking to a good routine is essential for caregiver success. The routine saves a lot of time and angst while ensuring that the important jobs get done. If you're too tired or upset, it's likely that the routine needs revision.
Successes
As with all challenging roles and jobs, make sure you list the successes great and small that you achieve. It is unlikely that there will be big newsworthy successes, so it's important to acknowledge the small wins you accomplish each day.
Humans thrive when we take care of each other in loving, meaningful, and positive ways. The caregiver roles that most of us play in life are vital to happy lives and happy communities. We need to take these roles seriously and do them with as much relevancy, goodness, and love as we can. Onward.
