Agency Director of Caring Senior Service in Galesburg, Katy Packingham, took the time to talk about why knowing a senior\u2019s routine matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen you know a senior\u2019s routine, you\u2019re able to look for anything abnormal. It can mean many different things (weakness, not taking their medicine, etc&#8230;). Noticing these changes can help prevent hospitalization from health problems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Caregivers and families should watch for any \u201cdiversion from a senior\u2019s usual routine. If they are flip flopping nights and days, whether they\u2019re staying hydrated, taking their medications, going to the bathroom, etc&#8230; If these changes are happening in their routines, it might be time for intervention with a caregiver.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consistent caregiving helps identify these changes \u201cbecause you have the same caregiver and\/or team plus a supervisor visiting regularly. We specifically have open communication with the family about what is going on. The more we are communicating with them. The more the family and client are open with us. The more we can do to keep them at home as long as possible. Once we notice the changes we try to figure out where the issues are. We are all about preventive care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you notice these changes in a seniors routine, \u201cseek medical help. Make a doctor appointment. If you are one of our clients, we will make the doctor appointment for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently Caring Senior Service in Galesburg had an experience with a client where they noticed a change in the client\u2019s routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are already in the home. The daughter lives past Chicago. The client was not acting like herself. She was hiding pills and showing signs of weakness. Our caregiver called the supervisor who came and recorded the deviation. We thought she had a UTI. We took her to prompt care and got her a prescription. She doesn\u2019t like to drink water. She really likes Stanley cups, so we got her a Stanley cup with water flavor packets. Now she carries it everywhere and is always drinking. Hopefully this will prevent a future UTI. We handled everything within 24 hours. The daughter was notified. The daughter was here this week and was commenting on how she\u2019s drinking and needs her cup refilled with her special tea (water flavor packets).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are interested in utilizing Caring Senior Service you can call them at (309) 228-4222 option 2, make an inquiry on Facebook, or go to their website <a href=\"https:\/\/caringseniorservice.com\/galesburg\/\">https:\/\/caringseniorservice.com\/galesburg\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Packingham would like the community to know \u201cfor those who are caring for seniors with dementia you don\u2019t have to worry about calling us.
