After having selected an appropriate geriatric care, there are a few things that you need to make prior preparation for an effective and smooth elder care at home
Keep all the prescriptions and medications of the elderly handy as the caregiver would ask for it.
Note down a family members contact number in case of emergencies.
Note down the doctors name and contact numbers who have been overlooking the elderly healthcare services.
Provide the list of diet and nutritional needs as prescribed by the doctor so that the caregiver can plan meals accordingly.
Prepare a list of activities or exercises to be performed by the elderly as prescribed by the doctor, so that the caregiver is aware of it and would help the elderly in doing so.

Caring for the elderly can be extremely challenging if the caregiver is not able to strike a chord with the elderly. However, our caregivers are compassionate people and know how to establish a bond to provide proper care. And as much as physical care is needed, all that the elderly longs for is someone to listen to them and communicate with them. Our caregivers are appropriately trained to give overall elder care at home that includes their physical and mental well being.
