ExpertRating Online Care Giver Course (Assisting Aging Parents)
Coverage (6 weeks program)
Week One
Wednesday - Lesson 01
In the first lesson,
you'll learn a few tools and techniques for
effective communication that will sustain you as
your parent’s age.
Friday - Lesson 02
This lesson will
explore ideas that can help you help your parent
to maintain his or her zest for life as
circumstances change. You'll discover some
activities that you might not have thought of
before. But you can only suggest that your
parents get involved with a new interest. It can
be frustrating if they refuse and you have to
watch them lose their will to live. This
lesson’s intent is to give you many tools so you
can keep trying until something works. If the
only behavior you can change is your own,
remember that your parent can't help but respond
differently to that change. So at least that is
in your control. You'll find suggestions on how
to make the most of this fact in this lesson.
Week Two
Wednesday - Lesson 03
This lesson is
going to talk about ways to change how you think
about accumulating things. It will give you some
ideas about what to do with the things you and
your parents already have once you decide to
free yourselves from the burden of excessive
possessions. You'll learn about trusts and
gifting away financial assets in Lesson 8—for
now, this lesson is talking about artifacts and
material possessions, the things that fill your
rooms, have to be dusted, insured, provided
space, and otherwise cared for. In this lesson
you'll learn how to protect yourself from the
mind control of advertising in the society of
getting and spending. At last, you'll have the
awareness to control your own spending habits
and help your parents start to unload their
lifetime accumulation of stuff.
Friday - Lesson 04
People often live
under the delusion that they're immortal until
something, like a death in the family, reminds them
of their vulnerability in this world. You may not
even think about what would happen to your cat or
dog if you got hit by a bus, let alone how you would
like your worldly goods distributed. If you think
about your health care wishes at all, it's to hope
that you do get hit by a bus and don't have to
endure a painful or prolonged decline or death.
Advance directives are written documents that serve
as an individual's instructions regarding disposal
of his or her property. In this lesson, you'll learn
what documents you must have, as well as those you
should have for yourself and your parents. This
lesson will take a close look at each of the
important documents, and will provide you with tips
on how to acquire and prepare them for yourself and
your parents with minimum cost and effort. If you're
at least 18 years of age, you should have your
preferred medical, resuscitation, and funereal
instructions officially documented, even if you
don't yet have assets to worry about. You'll find
out how to address this critical need in this
lesson!
Week Three
Wednesday - Lesson 05-
Even if you think you
know your parents inside and out, you might be
surprised by some of the things you don't know. And
some of those things may be important to you should
a parent have to move to assisted living, become
incapacitated, or die. This lesson will tell you
about some of the things you should find out while
you still can. In addition to the documents
discussed in Lesson 4, you or your parents may have
cash, valuables, investments, pensions, insurance
policies, safe deposit boxes, a personal safe
combination, and account numbers that will be
invaluable to the executor of an estate. Do you and
your parents have all those things neatly filed in
one place? This lesson will cover all that and more.
Friday - Lesson 06
You'll learn about
practical and material matters in several of the
other lessons in this course. This lesson will take
a different tack. Every emotion that there is to
experience can surface at some time when you're
involved in the inevitable changes that come with
aging. This lesson will help you learn what emotions
to expect in yourself, your parents, your siblings,
and others. It will revisit some of the
communication techniques you learned in Lesson 1 as
tools for handling feelings that surface. It will
also explore some new applications of pacing and
leading, and ways to manage your own emotions.
Week Four
Wednesday - Lesson 07
In the past, it was
the norm for family to absorb whatever additional
burdens came with the declining health and abilities
of elders. Community and government services were
limited or nonexistent. That's no longer the case.
You are not alone, and the good news is that there
are services available no matter what financial
situation you or your parents are in. This lesson
will explore what's available, where to find it, and
the levels or progression of help that you may need
over time. You'll also learn how to tell when to
move from one level to another. After that, this
lesson will go over some strategies for handling
that moment when you introduce the idea of getting
help to your parents. This can be a delicate matter,
so it's best to be prepared. Issues of self-esteem
and layers of emotion may arise when your parents
find that they just can't do all the things they
used to. This lesson will teach you to be on the
lookout for this as it explores finding help.
Friday - Lesson 08
The home care
services you learned about in Lesson 7 can postpone
a move to assisted living quarters, but there may
come a time when it's no longer feasible for your
parents to stay in their current home. You'll learn
how to discuss the idea of a move with your parents,
and ascertain their preferences, fears, and
concerns. There are now several possibilities for
increased care or services other than your home or a
nursing home. This lesson will describe some common
ones. It will explore the options progressively,
from fully independent living to full-care nursing.
This lesson will also talk about downsizing, as well
as relocation and other services that you may need.
Finally, you'll learn to choose wisely if sudden
illness or impairment strikes, making a progressive
approach impossible.
Week Five
Wednesday - Lesson 09
In this lesson you'll
learn the five symptoms that reveal when it's time
for your parent to move to a nursing home. Selecting
a nursing home is one of the most important
decisions you can make. This lesson will give you
criteria and a checklist for selection that will
serve you well whether you find yourself in a sudden
crisis or just ahead of a parent being released from
hospital. You'll be able to use the information in
this lesson to enhance your confidence in selecting
assisted living or other residence options.
Friday - Lesson 10
When the time comes
to move your parent to a nursing home, your behavior
can make a big difference in how well he or she
accepts the change. You'll have to face the emotions
of your parent and other family members, and control
your own. The communication skills based on
neurolinguistic programming (NLP) that you have
learned in previous lessons will serve you well:
pacing and leading, gaining and maintaining rapport,
and using disassociation to control emotion. This
lesson will give you some more tips for applying
your skills during this stressful time.
Week Six
Wednesday - Lesson 11
This lesson invites
you to consider death as a life event, another rite
of passage in the ever-flowing river of existence.
What you learn will serve you well if you're dealing
with the impending death of a loved one. If you
aren't yet facing it, the information in this lesson
will help prepare you for that eventuality. You'll
learn practical tips to help the dying person, and a
few more to help you cope. You'll be encouraged to
conquer your fear and reluctance enough to be fully
present when death is imminent, and this will free
you for a profound experience.
