Right care

Spread the love

It is very important that your loved one is receiving care in the way that is best for him or her. Every patient is an individual and will of course have unique needs. There are many ways your care can be tailored to suit your particular needs. Communicating with your Care Team about what is working well about your care and what does not work for you is key. Sometimes it can feel like you are complaining or being too demanding or asking for “special treatment” by talking about these things, but rest assured, feedback on how your care is working for you is welcome. Your care team can’t tailor your care to your needs without your input.

Another way to make sure you get the care that is right for you is to take advantage of community resources that are available to you. You can find out what community resources are available, and how to get in contact with them in the Resources section of this Web site.

Adapting your Home and Equipment Needs
To make your loved one comfortable, to ensure safety, and to make caregiving easier, you’ll probably need to adapt your home in some way. You’ll also need at least basic equipment and supplies.

The bedroom (or whichever room the bed is placed in) is usually the most important thing to consider. Click below for details about preparing:




How your family unit generally functions

Do family members communicate effectively, solve problems, and work well as a team? If so, your family may already be well prepared for the challenges involved in cancer and caregiving. Do family members tend to act independently or at cross-purposes? If so, it may take more time to focus efforts and coordinate activities. Has your loved one traditionally been the primary decision maker? If so, family roles and responsibilities may change a lot.
