End-of-life nurse shares heartbreaking details from Gene Hackman’s passing
@Source: internewscast.com
Julie advised ensuring that at least one person checks up on you at least once a week, particularly if you’re unwell. She added that it could be as simple as a phone call, but you need a point of contact with someone outside your home.
Furthermore, Julie suggested asking someone to occasionally take over the care of the individual to give yourself a break; this could be monthly, bi-monthly or weekly. Alternatively, she recommended speaking to a social worker for advice on getting out of the house now and then.
She underscored the importance of striving to “get as much community around us” as possible, suggesting it’s a “call for all of us” to reach out to others. Julie added that we must ask for help and support others.
The NHS states that there are various support options available for those with care and support needs, including paid carers, meals at home, home adaptations, gadgets and equipment, and housing options like care homes.
