Holiday Season Planning for Home Care

Holiday season can be a chaotic mix of excitement and pressure, especially for older adults and their families. Luxe Care’s home care services are designed to help keep things running smoothly, so the festive season feels enjoyable rather than overwhelming.

Smooth transitions are one of the biggest advantages of having home care during this period. Moving between outings, events and changing routines is simpler when a dedicated carer is there to guide the flow of the day. Luxe Care carers can help you with timing, meal preparation and ensuring you or your loved one are comfortable and aware of any arrangements, to keep everything running without last minute chaos.

Travel often becomes part of the holiday rhythm, too. Luxe Care’s carers can:

• Transport clients from their home to another location, and back if need be

• Help clients to pack all necessary items for a trip

• Ensure medication is stored properly and scheduled as usual

• Help a client to settle into new environments

End of year planning can be heavy work for anyone who needs daily support. Luxe Care helps you out by sharing the load. Our carers can help organise your schedules, keep track of any appointments, and make sure clients have what they need well ahead of time. This means you can plan and create the perfect family get togethers without concern for how loved ones will attend or be comfortable while in attendance.

The social side of holiday season can be equally joyful and tiring. Crowded rooms, excess noise and long days can wear people out quickly. Luxe Care’s lovely and friendly carers regularly accompany clients to social events to assist with rest breaks, mobility assistance, engaging conversation and tending to general needs that might go unseen in busy environments.

Our carers regularly help clients who stay home for the holidays, too:

• Helping prepare the home for visitors

• Assistance with food prep

• Ensuring the home environment is safe, calm and cool in the summer heat

• Companionship for clients who may be alone or find the holidays difficult

• Safety check-ins for food and drink intake, and medicine management

• Primary caretaker respite, so you have the space and time to relax and reset. Your instructions will be followed meticulously, and you will receive regular updates

Luxe Care endeavours to bring you peace of mind and a sense of control in your life. With us, you can rest assured knowing someone is always available helping maintain safety, routines and wellbeing. Our services continue 24/7 and after-hours coverage available as usual all over the holiday period and Christmas public holidays. Some office staff will be working over the Christmas period.  A Luxe Care registered nurse is always just a phone call away.

With the right care, the holiday period can be something to look forward to rather than something to manage. Allow yourself and your family members to enjoy social events and responsibilities of the season without worrying that a loved one in need will be unsupported.
