, a couple of tips from my caregiving journey with my father is that calling ahead of time and providing the barber shop and the medical and dental team, etc., with some information about my father before our arrival was helpful to all. I'd mention that we would need to sit closer to the bathroom and that Dad was more comfortable when I could join him during the doctor's exam and cleaning, and if I could possibly put myself within view of him, that would be of great assistance to him. I always shared that he loved animals, especially his kitty (talking point), and that clipper cuts over an electric trimmer were what he explained felt better to him. I would also make sure to have my cellphone ready with Spotify open and ready to play a few of his favorite Johnny Cash tunes. Respectfully, Nancy Team Member
