Caregiver supplies for an overnight visitor with health issues

By jjohnson Published February 23, 2022

When we have a visitor with health issues who will be staying with us overnight, or who might be with us for a longer time, it is a good idea to have some special caregiver supplies in order to make our guest more comfortable. This is true as well for a visitor that might be healthy, but afflicted with some of the problems that accompany advanced age. With these supplies we can know our guest will be comfortable and they will know we have thought in advance about their potential need. Guests with health or age related problems may not think to ask us to have these items, but they will be well appreciated.

These simple things can help our guest feel much more comfortable and much more welcome. Many of these items are a great idea to have on hand for any guest that might visit us.

With these few things we will be ready to help our visitors with health issues be more comfortable staying overnight in our home. They will appreciate our thoughtfulness and we will be happy knowing we are helping them feel welcome.

You hear how sitting all day is terrible for your health and posture, but what if your lifestyle keeps you on your feet for hours on end? You might take long walks and hikes, practice yoga, work a job that requires you to stand on your feet, and then go home and pore over a dinner recipe.

If you're always on the go, you know it can take a toll on your body. Wearing supportive shoes, non-restrictive clothing, and elevating your legs above the heart can all help. But for an extra dose of relief, consider one or more of the following items.

Incontinence is not the end and you are not alone

Millions of people suffer illness and injuries which result in temporary or permanent incontinence issues. This can be a struggle for the patients and their families but, fortunately, there are many products available to make the transition and recovery easier. Waterproof mattress protectors are easy to find and common. But, less common are some other products that are mentioned here that will, hopefully, help to acknowledge how normal a problem incontinence is and that no one who suffers from it should ever be ashamed.

But, sometimes you might not need so many liners. For instance, if you have a relative visiting for a single night. In that case, you can purchase a single liner.

Baby socks and leggings for infants and roaming toddlers

The first thing you want to do when you see a pair of baby feet isn’t cover them. You want to give them a squeeze, or (for some reason) threaten to “eat them up.” (Yeah, we all do that.) But the chances are anyone with a newborn needs to cover those feet, and tiny socks go missing. So while you may want to admire them during those precious years when feet are actually adorable, it’s a good idea to stock up on things like these five value packs of little socks to keep baby feet snug and warm.

If it's easy to lose socks as a grown-up, think how easy it is to lose those adorable, tiny baby socks. Ask any mom, dad, auntie, uncle, or caregiver: baby-sized socks are insanely easy to misplace—in the laundry, underneath the changing table, somewhere in the park after a diaper-changing fiasco, etc. Keeping a steady supply on hand is easy with value packs like these. Bonus points, they have little touches you might think of, like a soft terry loop interior or padded tabs, so your waddling little one will be comfortable as they learn to pad, and tear, and run around the house.
