Strategies for Successful Long-Distance Caregiving
Long-distance caregiving has become increasingly common due to the changing lifestyles of both seniors and families. Many caregiving agencies are now equipped to include long-distance loved ones in caregiving. Advances in technology also make it possible for far-away family members to be involved in caregiving.
Smart strategies for long-distance caregiving include:
- Selecting a caregiver agency that uses technology to offer real time interaction and transparency between in-person caregivers and family members
- Using video calling technology to stay connected with seniors on a regular basis
- Hiring companions, transportation, and other services designed specifically for seniors
- Opting for the support of a professional senior care agency
- Setting up automatic bill pay and other regular needs so seniors don’t have to track them
- Making sure access to medical records has been granted to those living far away (Money US News)
