• Have on hand any devices your doctor may have recommended, such as a thermometer, bathroom scale or blood pressure monitor.

• Gather any information you may need, including your current medication list and pharmacy name, location and phone number. Also take note of any healthcare data such as recent blood pressure readings or glucose levels.

• Write down a list of questions and concerns. Have a paper and pen to take notes.

• Keep in mind the call from your healthcare provider may come in as a blocked number.

• Give yourself extra time, as the call may come in a bit before or after your scheduled time.

• Let your doctor know if someone else is with you and introduce them.

• Keep an open mind. Although the appointment might feel different, try to treat it like a regular visit.

Ask questions. Schedule follow up appointments if needed.

3 simple tips to

boost your health at home

F

or many of us, it’s been tricky to create or maintain healthy habits while the world continues to be so topsy turvy.

To help you be healthy, follow these three simple tips:

stay active – keep moving

We all know this one, but it’s important. There are countless online workouts and yoga classes to try for free or by subscription, but you can also dance while cooking or doing the dishes, take jumping jack breaks, or go for a walk to mark the end of your workday. Every move counts, and so try to bring the fun into everyday activities.

If your home has a high level of radon, all the time you’re spending at home these days could be increasing your exposure and your risk of lung cancer. get the right set up – ease your pain

After a couple of years of working from home, it’s time to get serious about your home office setup if you haven’t already. Though you may be back in the office part or most of the time, hybrid work is likely here to stay.

Whatever your workspace looks like, making it ergonomic is crucial. It’ll save you a lot of neck and back pain or discomfort, eye strain

and visits to chiropractors. Do your research and ask your friends and family what’s worked for them to help you find the best fit.

make sure your home is safe – test for radon

Radon is a radioactive gas that’s in all our homes. If your home has a high level of radon, all the time you’re spending at home these days could be increasing your ex-

posure and your risk of lung cancer. Long-term exposure to elevated levels of radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers.

The only way to know the radon level in your home is to test. You can buy an inexpensive DIY kit or have a professional come in and do the test for you.

BY CHUCK RESNICK

RentersCLASSIFIED.CA January 8-22, 2011 4Rent.ca April 15–29, 2022

M

oving an elderly loved one can be tough.

No one wants to upset that person and everyone wants the move to go as smoothly as possible. This can seem like mission impossible.

The children and families of the Baby Boomer generation – people born between 1946 and 1960 – are already helping their loved ones move into downsized or elderly assistance accommodations and often are not emotionally prepared for the task at hand.

Senior loved ones can be very set in their ways and often are not well equipped to express their emotional frustrations in a constructive way as moving day draws closer.

It all can seem like a daunting task.

Over the years, we have packed and moved many seniors and the important thing is to stay organized, be patient, calm and respectful throughout the entire moving process.

If you are moving a senior loved one into a retirement facility or a condo, you should first contact the management to find out what they are allowed to bring in, appropriate moving hours and if they have any tips specific to their facility to help smooth the moving process.

Remember the following:

organize, begin packing weeks in advance

If your loved one is moving from a large home to a one-bedroom condo, there will be more furniture than needed. Get a floor plan of the new space and help your senior plan the space with their favourite furnishings, then help them decide what to do with the left overs. If the item is a family heirloom and cannot be accommodated in the new space, suggest giving it to a close family member like a favourite grandchild.

sort before you pack

Seniors tend to collect things they don’t need or use. Be sensitive when suggesting to get rid of possessions.

Ask if they use the item and if they would mind if you donated it to raise money for the Salvation Army, for example. Start packing early to avoid feeling overwhelmed as moving day draws closer.

pack, clean as you go

When helping sort and pack your senior’s belongings keep in mind that their eyesight and reduced mobility prevents them from doing regular chores and can result in poor housekeeping habits. Instead of commenting, offer to clean as you pack and try not to be judgmental.

you will need more time than you think

Allow enough time so your loved one doesn’t feel rushed. Sorting through years of stuff is difficult and sometimes emotionally painful. Allow your loved one time to say goodbye. If they take longer to clean out the desk drawer because they found a stack of pictures, let them take the time to walk down memory lane.

This is a very important part of the process. Be patient and listen to their life stories, there will come a time you will be glad you did.

wrap small items in coloured paper

This prevents items like knickknacks from becoming lost or mistakenly thrown out.

label boxes on top and sides

Make sure to mark the top and sides of boxes as they’re packed and write in large letters to make it easier

EXTRAS

for your loved one to read. Make sure to label boxes containing breakable or sentimental items as ‘fragile’.

pack all electronics in the original boxes

Otherwise, use low-static bubble wrap when packing these items.

use packing paper

When wrapping fine china and precious items, do not use newsprint because the ink can bleed.

seal with packing tape

This makes it easier to stack and protect your senior’s belongings.

use boxes designed for items you are packing

Invest in dish packs for dishes and wardrobe boxes for clothing. Wardrobe boxes make it easy for seniors to access their clothing on hangers.

check unwanted clothing before donating

It’s a good idea to sort unwanted clothing for donation prior to moving. Before donating any gently worn unwanted clothing, check pockets for valuables. Seniors often hide small valuable items like jewelry or cash in the pockets of suit jackets or shoes and forget where they hid it.

make your loved one’s new space feel familiar

Take pictures and colour samples of the inside of their current home.

Try to decorate the new space and place objects in a similar way, so that their new space will feel like the old one. Be as detailed as you can, from arranging the bedroom furniture to placing family pictures on the bureau. This will help make the new surroundings feel like home. 
