Hear me out. Getting old isn’t all that bad. “Growing old is great – when you consider the alternative,” as the saying goes. My grandma can nap when she wants to, rock her colorful house dress, and I’m pretty sure she’s gotten wiser with age. When you get old, you can just totally enjoy your grandchildren and then give them back to their parents. You can rekindle old friendships or pick up a new hobby.

I recently moved my grandma into my assisted living community. If you haven’t move your loved one into assisted living before, you absolutely must. That way he or she can participate in the programs and activities, socialize and get their bearings before they require additional care services. Let this be their idea as much as it is yours. Get your loved one on board before he or she is unsafe to live at home. I’ve worked with seniors for over 6 years now and I’ve watched my seniors’ quality of life improve exponentially once he or she moves into a senior living community. My grandma is no exception.

CVS for All My Caregiving Needs

I give all of my families a list of things they need for move in, so naturally I took my list to CVS. It was so easy to find Depend® & Poise®. at my local CVS for all of my caregiving needs! I purchased her Depend® and Poise® so she can maintain her independence and dignity. Depend® products are so helpful in the aging process. CVS has everything I needed to help make my experience as a Caregiver as enjoyable and easy as possible. I was able to purchase her bath and body products, under pads for her bed and other bed accessories to make her life easier. I picked up her weekly pill planner, toiletries, non skid socks and Depend® and Poise®. 

The Depend® Fit-Flex has Dryshield™ Technology for all-day comfort, and The Underpads and Night Defense give her up to 12 hours of overnight protection so she can continue to have a good night’s sleep. During the day, the underwear are ultra soft and form fitting but most importantly, discreet so she can continue to wear her cute joggers to play bingo. There is no potential for embarrassment as they truly fit like regular underwear, there isn’t bulkiness that can show under your clothing. There is plenty of flex around the legs without gapping or leaking. They help to control odor too. My grandma loves them and feels comfortable in her own skin.

The Poise® pads have up to 12 hours of protection and provide an incredible fit that helps prevent bunching and leaks. Poise is 10X drier than leading Always period pad. My grandma said the Poise® pads are the perfect length. The overall feel is more gentle on her soft and delicate skin. Most importantly, the Poise® pads give my grandma better peace of mind. My grandma does like to bargain shop and always tries to find the best deal. With her pads, she cannot skimp on costs because these are truly the best out there. She will never go back to the cheaper brands.

If you’re a caregiver or have a loved one in an assisted living community; you can find all your caregiving needs at CVS.
