Appreciate a Caregiver Day


Happy Valentine’s Day! We know that, traditionally, Valentine’s Day is usually about a spouse or significant other. However, here at LTS we want to focus on showing love to caregivers. Valentine's Day is a great opportunity to show them that you care and love everything they do for you. The average caregiver balances caring for a loved one, working a full-time job and caring for their family. The amount of stress they endure is unimaginable, and today is a great day to give them a break!

Flowers and Chocolates – A great, traditional way to show someone you care about them. Also, chocolate is good for your heart, so eat up!

Spa Gift Card – Give your loved one the opportunity to be pampered by someone else!

Coffee Shop Gift Card – It’s hard to squeeze in time for a coffee break, but having a gift card is a great excuse to take one.

Make a Meal and Bake Some Dessert – Everyone loves having homemade baked goods around, and it’s always great to have someone else cook a meal!

Write a Thoughtful Card – Tell them how much you care for what they’re doing, and show them that you appreciate everything they do for you.

Buy A Journal – Sometimes it’s hard to express in words the difficulties that come with caregiving,but journaling provides an alternative outlet for these emotions.

An Hour Break – It may seem like the opposite way of showing affection, but leave them alone for an hour! Let your loved one just take a break, and promise no disruptions.

We hope you have a great Valentine’s Day and appreciate the caregiver in your life today!
