🎄 Hosting for the Holidays? Here’s how to balance the joy with the care. ❤️

There is nothing quite like a full house during the holidays. But when you are caring for a loved one in home health or hospice, a large gathering can bring a mix of excitement and worry. How do you keep them safe and comfortable without dampening the festive spirit?

We’ve put together a guide on "best practices" for hosting when your loved one has medical needs. Here are 3 quick tips to get you started:

📱 The "Pre-Visit" Briefing: Send a text to guests before they arrive. Let them know your loved one’s current condition and set ground rules (e.g., "Please stay home if you have even a sniffle!").

🤫 Create a "Safe Harbor": Designate a quiet, off-limits room where your loved one can retreat for a nap or medication without the noise of the party.

🧼 Hygiene Stations: Make hand sanitizer as accessible as the holiday cookies. Place bottles by the door and near your loved one’s chair to keep germs at bay.

You can create beautiful memories and keep your loved one safe.
