Quality of Life is the mental and physical health of our care receiver. Improving QL is the basis of our $3T health care system. Everything we do as caregivers either adds to or diminishes from QL for our parent.
QL is made of mixture of peace, harmony, purpose, relationships, happiness, and growth. As caregivers we can enhance the external factors affecting QL for our loved one:
Secure outside (hack, schemes, abuse, robbed)
Safe inside (fall proof)
Structure (order, balance, hierarchy, daily habits)
Stable (battle rhythm, consistency, planning, ordering of day & days)
Surprise (fun, once per day, mix up)
Stimulating (hard to do, may req tricking)
Serenity (calm, no rancor, peace)
