Freedom Home Care’s Year in Review 2019

Another year has come and gone. The year 2019 was a great one for many, and we, at Freedom Home Care, have a lot to be thankful for. Because of this, we are going to take a look back at 2019 and talk about some of the great events we hosted last year.

Events Hosted by Freedom Home Care in 2019

There were a lot of great events that happened at Freedom Home Care in 2019. Check out some of our favorites below.

  • Nurses and Purses – In May, during Nurse Appreciation Week, Freedom Home Care had a Nurses and Purses event. This event was for RNs, LPNs, and CNAs. This event gave out some delicious food and drinks, as well as some beautiful purses. Every nurse that showed up got a purse, and five lucky winners got a big purse from the raffle. It was a great way for us to appreciate all the great work that nurses do!
  • Food for Thought
  • Food for Thought – At the end of May, Greg Borzo gave us a presentation during one of our Lunch and Lecture events. This event happened at the Dickinson Hall Senior Center in Lake Forest, and it was fun and educational for all. Food for Thought occurs every month and is sponsord by Freedom Home Care. Check out the upcoming Food for Thought event for February 2020 here.
  • Backyard Bash – At the beginning of June, we had a backyard BBQ bash with delicious food and the musical stylings of LJ Slavin who is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist. Slavin is well-versed on the flute, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, and so much more. It was a fun event for ears and taste buds! We host multiple Backyard Bashes over the Summer.

For Family Caregivers, A New Year’s Resolution Can Inspire Your Best Year Yet

If you are among the 8% of Americans who actually accomplish their New Year’s resolution goals , well done! However, if you are like the majority of us, you’ve given up prior to even turning the calendar page to February. Although it is undoubtedly commendable to attempt to better ourselves by resolving to lose 10 pounds or with healthier living, for busy family caregivers, there are truly meaningful, achievable goals that will improve life all through the year. Consider these recommendations: Find joy. Looking after somebody else is a labor of love, but can also bring about challenges, which makes it hard to concentrate on the daily benefits that spark joy. Devote some time on a daily basis to pause and discover a reason to smile. Bring a sense of humor to your daily caregiving tasks, sharing laughter together with your loved one. Enjoy the feeling of the sunlight shining through the window as you’re folding laundry. And make time to call someone who lifts your spirits for a brief...

Did you know  June is  Men’s Health Month  and Father’s Day anchors Men’s Health Week ?   Celebrate dad on Father’s Day and thank him for all he  has  done, but  also  make sure to seize an opportunity sometime this month to have a conversation with him about his health. This awareness campaign has the critical purpose of informing men   that avoiding preventive healthcare puts them at real and serious risk of  contracting a disease or  acquiring  a chronic condition.   Studies consistently  show the numbers go against men , particularly as they advance into their senior years.   Even with dramatic advances in diagnosis and treatment over the past 100 years, men’s life expectancy still lags significantly behind women. According to  Harvard Health ,  the gap is widening. In 1900, the life expectancy for women was 48.3 years vs. 46.3 for men. In 2017, it was 81.1 years for women vs. 76.1 for men. Harvard...

How Does Caregiving Stress Affect Your Career?

Lots of caregivers believe that the stress they experience as a part of caregiving is something that they only experience in that situation. But stress doesn’t care where you are or what you’re doing. If you ignore it, you’ll find the effects of stress following you even to your career and that can be bad for multiple reasons. Stress Is Everywhere Stress is a normal part of life. It’s literally everywhere and it takes the form of both “good” stress and “bad” stress. So-called good stress makes you alert to dangers and can keep you from making mistakes that could prove harmful to you. Bad stress is stress that takes a toll on you mentally and physically. It’s a result of being hypervigilant for too long. Stress Doesn’t Stay in Categories Something else to understand about stress is that it doesn’t stay boxed up neatly. Your stress as a caregiver will flow into the rest of your life, including your career and your other relationships, unless you take steps to manage it appropriat...
