Tips to Overcome the Challenges of Medical Tests for Older Adults

Ease the process of medical tests for older adults with these tips.

There’s often nothing “routine” about a routine checkup. You may arrive to your appointment perfectly fine, but leave with orders for blood work along with other medical tests a doctor recommends to keep you as healthy as possible. These tests may be nothing more than a minor inconvenience for you, but medical tests for older adults could be challenging for many reasons: transportation problems, mobility issues, thinner skin, fragile veins, cognitive difficulties, and much more.

Dear Hired Hands Homecare:

Your team are incredibly hard workers, problem solvers and excellent communicators. Betty is lucky to have the team of caregivers she has and I am forever grateful that Lynn, Melissa and Carol have made my role in my friend’s care so much easier.

Best Regards,
