The Host of the Party
Living Your Best Life
December is virtually synonymous with parties. Holiday, office, and New Years parties; cocktail and dinner parties, caroling and Hanukkah parties; tree, cookie, and gingerbread house decorating … the list goes on. If you’re the kind who not only loves a good party, but loves organizing one, there’s no reason your hosting needs to be curtailed as you get older or recover from a medical issue. A professional caregiver can be the extra help you need to keep the party going.
The lead up to the party
Deciding on where your party is going to be held is the first decision. Going offsite? Your caregiver can help with the logistics of securing a venue—from luxurious to offbeat to traditional. From aiding with communications with the site manager to helping you tour the facilities, your caregiver can be an indispensable help. Or, you may prefer to keep the festivities closer to home—in fact, in home. Arranging for extra tables, chairs, glasses, and silverware is a lot easier when you have someone to help. Then, of course, there’s the extra touches to attend to. This requires a helping professional with attention to detail and interpersonal skills who can work with the caterer, florist, and landscaper.
Party day!
There’s dozens of little details on the day of a party and you want to conserve your energy for your guests. For a party at home, a caregiver can oversee people coming in and out of your house—florist, caterer, liquor store, waitstaff and bartenders—as well as any out of town guests. Your caregiver can also help you get dressed and provide transportation to hair and nail salons. If the party is outside your home, your caregiver can drive to the site or arrange transportation.
The party’s over
But the work still isn’t done. If people brought gifts – an exceptional bottle of wine, a holiday present—you’ll need to write thank you’s. You can dictate your thank you messages to your caregiver for a prompt handwritten note or a typed email. In the house, your caregiver can oversee clean-up and the return of any rented items. And what party today would be complete without sharing photos on social media or email. Your specialized nurse can do posts and shares as the final bow on your holiday festivity.
