Kyra Blackwell: 亲身照护是无可替代的,但显然你不可能每次需要吃药或有人不知道如何换电视频道时都跑过去。所以,拥有这些替代方案会有帮助。而且,你也可以把更多精力花在高质量的陪伴上,而不是数药片或确保服药。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: There's no substitute for being there in person, but obviously you can't run over every single time a pill needs to be taken or somebody doesn't know how to change the channel on the TV. So being able to have these substitutes can help. And also maybe you go in and you're spending more quality time versus counting pills and making sure medication is taken.
Christine Sir Cleette: 我是 Kyra Blackwell。我是 Christine Sir Cleette,您正在收听的是 Wirecutter Show。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: I'm Kyra Blackwell. I'm Christine Sir Cleette and you're listening to the Wire Cutter Show.
Kyra Blackwell: 嗨,Christine,我们回来了,今天我们要讨论的可能是我们节目中涵盖过的最复杂的情感话题之一。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Hiro Christine, we're back and we are here to talk about one of potentially the most kind of emotionally complicated topics we've ever covered on the show.
Christine Sir Cleette: 确实是这样。我通常会尽量不去想它。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: That is definitely one way to put it. It's something that I tend to try to keep far out of my mind.
Kyra Blackwell: 今天我们要讨论的是照护者的工具,特别是那些能帮助照护者保持条理的工具和小工具。我们最近发表了一篇关于这个主题的文章,作为“居家养老”系列文章的一部分。上周我们也在节目中讨论过。任何做过照护者的人都知道这个角色有多么具有挑战性。无论你是照顾年幼子女的父母,还是照顾年迈的父母、生病的配偶,或是生活中其他的人,每天都有大量的待办事项,这可能是一份非常有意义但也非常耗费精力的工作。我看到身边担任这个角色的人,这真的很有挑战性,特别是当你需要兼顾工作、家庭和其他责任时。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Today we are talking about tools for caregivers, specifically tools and gadgets that can help caregivers stay organized. We recently published an article about this as part of a series of articles about aging in place. And we covered this last week on the show, too. Anyone who has been a caregiver really knows how challenging this role can be. Whether you're a parent who's taking care of young children or you're taking care of an aging parent, an ill spouse, or someone else in your life, you know, there's a huge to-do list every day, and it can be a very rewarding and exhausting job. I've watched the people around me who have been in this role, and it it can be really challenging, especially if you're juggling work, family, and other responsibilities.
Christine Sir Cleette: 没错。上周我们播放了对同事 Doug Mahoney 的采访,内容是关于如何对您的家进行大小改造,使其成为一个更好的居家养老场所。其中包含了大量关于特定产品的建议,这些产品可以真正让老年人的家更舒适、更安全。在本期节目中,我们将与我们的同事 Rachel Sarakola 交流,她是我们的技术团队的撰稿人。她写了一篇很棒的文章,其中包含许多工具、小工具和策略的建议,可以帮助照护者保持条理。尽管我们这次对话将重点关注对老年人的照护,但我们真的觉得我们讨论的许多工具对于有孩子、室友或任何共享家庭的人都会非常有帮助。我们将在广告后与 Rachel 交流。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: That's right. So, last week we aired an interview with our colleague Doug Mahoney about the small and big remodels you can make to your home to make it a better place to age in place. It's packed with a ton of great advice for specific products that can really make your home more comfortable and safe for someone who's getting older. And in this episode, we're going to talk with our colleague Rachel Sarakola, who is a writer on our tech team. She wrote this great piece with a lot of recommendations for tools and gadgets and strategies that can be helpful to keep caregivers organized. And although we'll be focused in this conversation on caregiving for older people, we really feel like many of the tools we discussed would be really helpful for people with kids, roommates, or anyone sharing a household. We'll talk with Rachel right after the break.
Kyra Blackwell: 欢迎回来。现在我们请来了 Rachel Sarakola。Rachel 是我们技术团队的高级撰稿人,专注于智能家居领域。她撰写智能家居设备文章已有超过25年的经验。除了这篇关于照护者工具的文章,她还写了一篇关于居家养老科技设备的非常有用的文章。一个有趣的事实是,在大学时,她参加了 MTV 的一档名为《Remote Control》的真人问答节目,并进入了最后一轮。所以,如果我们的团队以后组织问答酒吧之夜,Rachel,你一定要和我们一起去。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Welcome back. With us now is Rachel Sarakola. Rachel is a senior writer on our tech team focused on smartome. She's written about smart home devices for over 25 years. And in addition to this piece on tools for caregivers, she's also written a very helpful article about tech devices for people aging in place. And fun fact, in college, she was on a reality trivia show on MTV called Remote Control and she made it to the last round. So if we ever do a trivia bar night as a team, Rachel, you're coming with us.
Christine Sir Cleette: 当然。Rachel,欢迎来到节目,是的,你是我团队的一员。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: Absolutely. Rachel, welcome to the show and yeah, you're on my team.
Rachel Sarakola: 谢谢。我很高兴来到这里,也很荣幸能加入您的问答团队。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Thank you. I'm very excited to be here and would be honored to be on your trivia team.
Kyra Blackwell: Rachel,我们将深入探讨您在这篇关于照护者工具的文章中提供的许多宝贵建议,但我很好奇。您有照护者的经验吗?您在这方面的背景是什么?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Rachel, we're going to get into a lot of this great advice that you have in this piece about tools for caregivers, but I am curious. Do you have experience as a caregiver? What is your background in this?
Rachel Sarakola: 嗯,我对写这篇文章感兴趣是因为我当时有自己的亲身经历。那时我不是照护者,但我有一个州外的家庭成员去年需要24/7全天候照护。她有一位专业照护者,我的所有兄弟姐妹也都在处理这件事。我会称他们为照护者,他们让我非常了解情况。在这篇文章中,我们讨论了如何与其他照护者保持联系,无论是家庭成员还是专业照护者。这就是我当时经历的。我的家人有一个群组短信链,一个团队短信链,他们让我非常了解所有正在发生的事情。您写的这篇文章都是关于保持条理的。这听起来非常基本,但为什么对照护者来说保持条理如此重要?
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Well, I got interested in doing the article because I was having my own kind of personal experience. At the time, I wasn't the caregiver, but I had an outofstate family member who was requiring 247 care last year. She had a professional caregiver and also all of my siblings, they were all dealing with it as well. I would call them all caregivers and they were keeping me very informed about what's going on. In this piece, we talk about how you can get in touch with other caregivers, whether they're family members or professional caregivers. And that's what I was experiencing. My family had a group text chain, team text chain, and they kept me very informed on everything that was going on. This piece that you wrote about is all about just staying organized. And that sounds like it's really basic, but why is it so important for caregivers to stay organized?
Rachel Sarakola: 天哪。想想你这周、这个月要做的事情。现在,再加入一个人。也许你还有孩子,所以仅仅是组织所有这些事情就很困难。但当涉及到照顾某人时,说得不恰当一点,这真的可能是危及生命的。你可能需要把某人的药物整理好。你必须把他们的预约整理好。你必须确保他们有吃饭、站立、喝水,并与其他人交流。所以,把所有这些事情组织起来非常重要。我认为如果你没有条理,这真的会让你感到沉重。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Oh my gosh. Just just think about the stuff that you have to do this week, this month. Now, add another person into the mix. And maybe you have kids, so just trying to organize all of that is difficult. But when it comes to caring for someone, it really can be like lifethreatening, for lack of a better word. Maybe you have to keep someone's medications organized. You have to keep their appointments organized. You have to make sure that they're eating, standing up, that they're drinking water, that they're getting uh communication with other people. So, it it's very important to organize all of those things. And I think it can it can really weigh on you if you're not organized.
Kyra Blackwell: 我知道你为了这个故事采访了很多人。我很想听听你采访了哪些类型的人。他们是专业照护者吗?他们是照顾配偶、父母还是生活中其他人的人?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: I know you talked to a lot of people for this story. I'd love to hear about the types of people you spoke with. Were they professional caregivers? Are they people taking care of maybe a spouse, a parent, someone else in their life?
Rachel Sarakola: 我实际上采访了专业照护者和照顾父母的人。对于这篇特定的文章,我们主要关注老年人,但我希望我能把所有的故事都包含进来,因为其中很多都非常重要和有趣。我采访过照顾配偶的人,也采访过照顾孩子的人,我希望以后能把他们的故事融入到其他文章中。对于这篇特定的文章,我更侧重于那些我称之为普通人的、照顾父母的人。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: I actually spoke to both professional caregivers and people that were caring for their parents. For this specific piece, we're really focusing on older people, but I wish I could include all of the stories because so many of them are so important and so interesting. I've talked to people that were caring for spouses and then I've talked to other people that were caring for children and I'm hoping to incorporate their stories in other pieces down the line. For this specific piece, I was more focused on I'm going to call them regular people that were caring for their parents.
安排日程
Kyra Blackwell: 在您的文章中,您涵盖了一些非常广泛的类别,这些类别对于普通人或照护者保持条理特别有帮助。这些类别包括安排日程、与他人沟通、管理药物以及管理文书工作和预算。所以,我们想逐一探讨这些类别。让我们从安排日程开始。这里最大的挑战是什么?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: And in your piece, you cover some really broad categories where it's specifically helpful for these normal people or caregivers to stay organized. And that's in scheduling, communicating with others, managing medications, and managing paperwork and budgeting. So, we want to walk through each one of these. Let's start with scheduling. What are the biggest challenges here?
Rachel Sarakola: 我会说,最大的挑战就是跟踪所有的预约,以及像吃饭和喝水这样的事情。你可能不认为这些事情需要安排,但如果人们有痴呆症或任何形式的记忆力减退,那就会是个大问题。所以,信不信由你,你可能需要安排这类事情。此外,如果你与兄弟姐妹或专业照护者等其他人打交道,你需要确保每个人都步调一致。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: I would say just keeping track of all of the appointments, things like eating and drinking. You don't think that those things need to be scheduled, but if people have dementia or any kind of memory loss, it's a big problem. So, you may have to schedule those type of things, believe it or not. But also, if you're dealing with other people like siblings or uh professional caregivers, you want everybody to be on the same page. Mhm.
Christine Sir Cleette: Rachel,我想我们最初分配这篇文章时就谈了很多,关于远程照护管理,或者像与兄弟姐妹一起管理照护情况,或者你可能有一个团队,也许有家庭健康助理,也许还有其他几个人帮忙,这时在安排日程方面就会变得非常棘手和混乱。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: I think we talked a lot about that, Rachel, when we first assigned this piece that uh managing remote caregiving or managing a caregiving situation like with siblings or maybe you've got a team of people, maybe there's a home health aid, maybe there's a couple other people helping and that's when things can get really tricky and very confusing when it comes to scheduling.
Rachel Sarakola: 是的。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Yes.
Kyra Blackwell: 那么,您的专家推荐了哪些有助于安排日程的工具呢?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: So, what are the tools that your experts recommended for helping with scheduling?
Rachel Sarakola: 嗯,一个很受欢迎的工具是Skylight Calendar。在这篇文章之前我就听说过它。它在家庭中非常受欢迎。这个日历放在你的台面或挂在墙上,很难被忽视,它是颜色编码的,你可以通过应用程序轻松添加事项。它只专注于日历功能。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Well, one popular item was the Skylight calendar. I had heard of it before, this piece. It's really popular with with families. It's hard to ignore this calendar that's sitting on your either your counter or it's mounted to the wall and it's colorcoded and you can easily add things to it through an app. It just focuses on the calendar.
Christine Sir Cleette: 我有点喜欢这个。在您写这篇文章之前,我看到它时才了解到它。它基本上是一个大的数字屏幕,可以挂在墙上或放在台面上,看起来就像你在看一个Google Calendar,但你可以移动事件,它是触摸屏吗?
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: I am kind of into this. I I didn't know about this thing before I looked at it when you wrote this piece. And it's basically this big digital screen that goes on the wall or on your counter and it's just it looks like you're looking at a Google calendar essentially, but you can kind of move events and is it a touch screen?
Rachel Sarakola: 我相信它是触摸屏。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: I believe it is a touch screen.
Christine Sir Cleette: 对我来说,我会和我的孩子一起使用它,比如“今天是你们做这些家务的日子”,“今天是某某去体操的日子”,“今天是爷爷奶奶进城的日子”。所以,我可以看到它有相当广泛的应用。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: To me, I was like, I would use this with my kids like this is the day you do these chores. This is the day so and so is going to gymnastics. This is the day that grandparents are coming into town. So, I could see where it has pretty wide applications.
Kyra Blackwell: 但它的理念是你可以远程操作或添加内容,对吗?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: But the the idea is that it's you can operate it or add things to it remotely. Right.
Rachel Sarakola: 没错。这样,如果需要,多人可以添加内容。他们都可以拥有应用程序,但你也可以添加像“刷牙”这样简单的事情。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Right. And that way multiple people can add things to it if necessary. They can all have the app, but also you can add things like brush your teeth, you know, something simple like that.
Kyra Blackwell: 那个多少钱?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: And how much is that?
Rachel Sarakola: 大约300美元左右。略高于300美元。这取决于你购买的尺寸。它有不止一种尺寸。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: It's about $300ish dollars. A little over 300. It depends on the size that you get. There's more than one size.
Kyra Blackwell: 所以,这算是一笔投资。这不仅仅是买一个挂历,但如果你经常使用它,并且能省去很多麻烦,那可能就物有所值。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: So, it's a bit of an investment. That's like not just buying a wall calendar, but if you're going to use it a lot and it saves a lot of grief, that could be worth it.
Rachel Sarakola: 是的。它的另一个优点是你可以将它与Google Calendar或iPhone Calendar等其他日历同步,然后它就会直接显示在屏幕上。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Yes. Another great thing about it is that you can sync it with other calendars like your Google calendar or your iPhone calendar and it will just show up right on the screen.
Christine Sir Cleette: 那很好。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: That is nice.
Kyra Blackwell: 那更好了。您的专家还推荐了什么?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: That's even better. What else did your expert recommend?
Rachel Sarakola: 另一个被提及的工具是我从未听说过的Relish Day Hub。实际上它有两个产品。有一个叫做Relish Day Connect,它是一个简单的时钟。你可能会想,一个时钟有什么大不了的?嗯,这个时钟会显示日期、时间、星期几。对于有记忆问题的人来说,这很重要。所以它非常有帮助。当你把Hub加入进来时,你可以在上面添加任务。所以,它与Skylight非常相似,只是可能更简化一些。你实际上是在屏幕上写下任务。所以它可能会显示“刷牙”、“穿衣服”、“去散步”之类的。当这些任务出现时,你会在设备上收到提醒。然后你也可以在完成时将其勾选掉。然后到一天结束时,它会自行清除,不是任务本身,只是你已经勾选了它们,这样你第二天就可以重新开始。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Another one that came up is this item I had never heard of called the Relish Day Hub. There's actually two products. There's a thing called the Relish Day Connect, which is a simple clock. And you think, oh, what's the big deal about a clock? Well, this clock shows the day, the time, the day of the week. And for people that have memory issues, that's a big deal. So, it's very helpful. When you add the hub into the mix, you can add tasks on it. So, very similar to the skylight, except maybe a little bit more simplistic. You actually write the tasks on the screen. So maybe it says brush your teeth. It says like get dressed. It says go for a walk. And as these tasks come up, you will get an alert on the device. And then you can also check them off as they're completed. And then at the end of the day, it'll just kind of erase itself, not the tasks, just that you had checked them off, so you can start over again the next day.
Kyra Blackwell: 所以这可以帮助那些家里不总有人帮忙的人,对吗?比如,如果你知道你的父母或其他人有记忆问题,这可以帮助他们保持专注并完成需要做的事情,而无需100%全天候监督。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: So this could help someone who potentially doesn't have someone at home all the time helping them, right? like maybe this might be something if you know your parent or someone else has memory issues that this can help them stay on task and do the things they need to do not being supervised 100% of the time.
Rachel Sarakola: 是的。我想说,它确实适用于你每天都要完成的任务。所以它不像随机的医生预约或与某人的随机午餐。它适用于你每天都需要做的事情。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Yes. And I would say it's really for tasks that you're completing every single day. So it's not like the random doctor's appointment or the random lunch that you're having with somebody. It's things that you need to do every day,
Kyra Blackwell: 对吧?吃药、洗澡、吃午饭,所有这些喝水。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: right? Take your medicine, take a shower, eat lunch, all that water.
Rachel Sarakola: 是的。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Yes.
Kyra Blackwell: 这个多少钱?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: How much does this one cost?
Rachel Sarakola: 大约200美元。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: That's about $200.
Kyra Blackwell: 还是不便宜。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Still not cheap.
Rachel Sarakola: 是的。这个类别里的东西都不便宜。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Yes. Nothing in this category is cheap.
沟通协作
Kyra Blackwell: 让我们从安排日程转向另一个棘手的问题:沟通。如果你需要协调很多人,这可能会非常困难。在你的报道中,关于人们在照护方面遇到的沟通挑战,有没有出现什么共同的主题?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Let's move from scheduling on to another tricky one, communication. This can be really difficult if you're coordinating a lot of people. Were there any common themes that came up in your reporting about, you know, the communication challenges that people have related to caregiving?
Rachel Sarakola: 找到一种对所有参与者都简单易行的沟通方式。我采访过一个人,他说他们使用与兄弟姐妹共享的iPhone 备忘录,那基本上就是手机上的一个共享文档,或者Google Calendar,或者可能是一个短信群聊。但是的,就是找到一种你觉得舒服的方式。我会说,找出最适合你的方式。此外,还要保持清晰的记录,以便每个人都知道发生了什么。比如,当你沟通时,最好确保所有信息都正确无误。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Figuring out a way to communicate that's easy for everyone involved. So, you know, I spoke to somebody that said they used iPhone notes that they shared with their sibling and that was just a shared document basically on their phones or Google calendar or maybe it's a text chain. But yeah, so just a way that you're comfortable with. I would say figure out what's best for you. Also, just keeping clear records so that everybody knows what's going on. Like when you're communicating, it's a good idea to just make sure everything is correct.
Christine Sir Cleette: 用文字记录下来。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: Get it in text.
Rachel Sarakola: 是的。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Yes.
Christine Sir Cleette: 总是用文字记录。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: Always get it in text.
Rachel Sarakola: 书面形式。是的。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: In writing. Yes.
Christine Sir Cleette: 在你的报道中,还有没有其他工具或服务是人们觉得非常有帮助的?
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: Um, were there other tools or services that came up in your reporting that people found really helpful?
Rachel Sarakola: 是的。我采访了一位男士,他使用Google Docs,这也是免费的,但他为他的父亲创建了一份完整的手册。所以,每当他有一个新的照护者时,就会有一份关于如何照顾他基本情况的手册。他提到他厌倦了告诉新的照护者如何操作洗衣机,所以他制作了一个视频放在这份文档里。仅仅使用免费工具就能想出这些东西真是太棒了。所以这是一个。然后还有其他一些设备。其中一个是Amazon Echo,内置了 Alexa。它非常适合帮助安排日程、设置提醒,也适合沟通。所以,如果你的家里有一个智能音箱,而你所爱的人家里也有一个智能音箱,你就可以通过设备与他们通话。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Yes. I spoke to one gentleman who used Google Docs, which is also free, but he created an entire manual of his father. So, any time he had a new caregiver, there was a manual on basically how to take care of him. He mentioned that he was tired of telling new caregivers like how to work the washing machine, he made a video that was in this document. It's amazing the things that you can come up with with just even free tools. So, that was one. And then there were a few other devices. one being the Amazon Echo, which has Alexa built in. It's great for helping with schedules, helping with reminders, but also with communication. So, if you have a smart speaker in your home and your loved one has a smart speaker in their home, you can talk to them through the device.
Rachel Sarakola: 如果你有屏幕,你可以面对面交流。甚至如果你没有屏幕,只要有应用程序,你也可以通过它与他们通话。所以,这是一个很棒的沟通工具。它还可以播放音乐、播客或天气,或者回答你所有随机的问答题。我们不需要那个,我们有你,Rachel。还有一个非常有趣的服务叫做Alexa Emergency Assist。如果有人跌倒了,他们可以对着他们的 Alexa 音箱呼叫,它就会帮助他们联系警察或消防部门。这有点类似于佩戴医疗警报设备的概念,即在另一端有某种帮助。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: If you have a screen, you can talk face to face. And maybe even if you don't have a screen, if you have the app, you can talk to them through that. So, that's great, a great communication tool. And it can also play things like music or podcasts or the weather or can answer all of your random trivia questions that you have. We don't need that. We have you, Rachel. Um, there's also a really interesting service called Alexa Emergency Assist. And that's if somebody falls, they can call out to their Alexa speaker and it'll put them in touch with police or fire. So similar to maybe not the same but kind of similar to the idea of wearing a medical alert device where there's some kind of help on the other end.
Christine Sir Cleette: 是的。是的。只是很多人不喜欢佩戴那些设备。所以……
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: Yes. Yes. Except a lot of people don't love wearing those. So
Rachel Sarakola: 这个你只需要呼叫。还有另一个设备叫做Jubilee TV,我发现它在居家养老方面是一个非常有趣的应用,因为它实际上是一个通用遥控器,你把它连接到电视上,就可以远程控制。比如说,我把它安装在我父母家里。我可以控制他们的电视。我还可以远程解决他们电视的问题,我想很多人都遇到过需要远程故障排除的情况,那可不愉快。此外,它还有一个系统,你可以发送消息甚至进行视频聊天,消息可能是“吃药了”或者“我晚点过来”之类的。这是一个非常有趣的系统。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: this you just call out. There was another device that came up called the Jubilee TV and I found this to be really interesting application to use with people aging in place because it's actually a universal remote and you hook this thing up to a TV and it can be controlled remotely. So, say I have it at my parents house set up. I can control their TV. I can also troubleshoot their TV, which I think a lot of people have had that issue where uh they've had to do some remote troubleshooting. It's not pleasant. Also, it has a system in place where you can send messages or even do video chat and the messages might be take your medication or you know, I'm coming over later or something like that. It's a very interesting system.
Kyra Blackwell: 那很有趣。Rachel,您是智能家居专家,我们上周和 Doug 简单讨论过,当你将智能家居功能集成到别人的家中时,需要进行某种透明的沟通。我想您在您写的另一篇科技文章中也报道过这一点。您能分享一下,如果您要在父母家中安装智能音箱、智能恒温器或智能摄像头之类的设备,最佳实践是什么?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: That is interesting. You know, Rachel, you are a smart home expert and we talked briefly about this last week with Doug around when you are integrating smart home features into someone else's home and there is some sort of transparency communication that has to happen there and I think you reported on that in this other tech piece you wrote. Can you share a little bit about what are the best practices if you're going to put a smart speaker or a smart thermostat or a smart camera or something in your parents home say?
Rachel Sarakola: 我的意思是,你需要与将要使用它的人进行讨论。这不是那种你想给任何人惊喜的事情。你不想让任何意外消息突然出现在电视上。这可能会让他们偏执或紧张。所以,与某人进行这种讨论非常重要。此外,任何进入家中的人,无论是你的兄弟姐妹还是专业照护人员,如果你要安装摄像头,如果你要安装任何智能设备、智能音箱,这都是一个家庭决定。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: I mean, you need to have a discussion with the person who's going to be living with it. That's not the kind of thing that you want to surprise anyone. You don't want any surprise messages popping up on on the TV. It could make them paranoid or, you know, nervous. So, it's very important to have that kind of discussion with someone. Also, anybody else that's coming in the house, whether that's your siblings, professional caretaker, if you're going to have cameras, if you're going to have any smart devices, smart speakers, it's a household decision.
Christine Sir Cleette: 即使你只是在自己家里安装了这些设备,比如说你有一个保姆,你也应该告诉他们你安装了这些智能设备吗?
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: Even if you just have that stuff in your own home and say you have a babysitter, should you also be telling them that you have this smart stuff?
Rachel Sarakola: 这样做是个好主意。是的。在某些地方,如果你在室内安装了这些设备却没有告知进入的人,这实际上可能是非法的。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: It's a good idea to do that. Yes. In some places, it can actually be illegal if you have that inside and you don't disclose to people coming in.
Kyra Blackwell: 好的。各位听众,你们在这里听到了。这是重要信息。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Okay. Well, you heard it here, folks. That's uh important information.
Kyra Blackwell: 好的,总结一下,我们刚刚讨论了照护的两个挑战性方面,即安排日程和沟通。因此,对于安排日程,您推荐了Skylight Calendar和Relish Day Hub,以帮助大家保持步调一致。而对于沟通,你可以做一些免费的事情,比如共享一个备忘录应用程序,甚至创建一个可以共享的Google Docs,这些都是免费的;或者你可以购买Amazon Echo或Jubilee TV,它们可以帮助通过电话或视频通话进行沟通,或者帮助你进行监控。这些选项很多都不便宜,但如果你需要它们,那么你就需要它们,并且你会根据你的实际需求来衡量其价值。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Okay, so to recap, we just went over two of the challenging things about caretaking, which is scheduling and communication. So, for scheduling, you recommend the Skylight Calendar and the Relish Day Hub to kind of keep everybody on the same page. And for communication, you know, there are free things you can do like sharing a notes app or even creating a Google doc that you can share around and that's free or you can get the Amazon Echo or the Jubilee TV which can help communicate over phone or video call or it can help you monitor. A lot of these options aren't cheap, but if you need them, then you need them and you price that cost based off of what you actually need.
Christine Sir Cleette: 我们将短暂休息一下,回来后,我们将讨论照护者应该考虑的药物管理工具。这是一个非常重要的方面。还有所有的文书工作。太多的文书工作了。我们马上回来。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: We're going to take a quick break and when we're back, we are going to talk about some of the tools that caregivers should consider for managing medications. That's a huge one. And all of the paperwork. So much paperwork. We'll be right back.
药物管理
Kyra Blackwell: 欢迎回来。我们和 Rachel Sarakola 在这里讨论可以帮助照护者保持条理的工具。在休息之前,我们讨论了一些用于安排日程和沟通的科技解决方案。现在我们要讨论药物管理。Rachel,这让我感触很深。我的岳母几年前去世了,在她生命的最后阶段,她有一些记忆力减退,我的嫂子和姐夫在照顾她,而药物方面是一个非常大的问题。他们总是不确定她是否按时服用了需要服用的药物,我们直到最后也没有真正解决这个问题。您采访的一些人提出了哪些解决方案?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Welcome back. We're here with Rachel Craakola to talk about the tools that can help caregivers stay organized. So before the break, we talked about some of the tech solutions for scheduling and communicating. Now we're going to talk about managing medications. Rachel, this strikes me really close to home. My mother-in-law passed away a couple years ago and in the last part of her life, she had some memory loss and my sister-in-law was caring for her and my brother-in-law and the medication part of it was just a really big issue. They didn't always know if she had taken the medication she needed to take and we didn't really figure it out before the end for her. What are some of the solutions that some of the people that you talked to suggested?
Rachel Sarakola: 嗯,对于一些人来说,药盒就能很好地发挥作用,但另一些人需要更高级一些的东西。我采访过的一个人非常推崇一个叫做Hero Smart Pill Dispenser的设备。这是一个连接到互联网的药丸分配器。它能在正确的时间,以正确的剂量,分发正确的药物。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Well, for some people a pill box can work really well, but other people need something a little bit more advanced. And one of the people I spoke to was very big into something called the Hero Smart Pill Dispenser. This is a pill dispenser that connects to the internet. It dispenses the right medication, the right amount of medication, and at the right time of day.
Rachel Sarakola: 而且,如果人们没有服用药物,它还会提醒你。所以这与普通的药盒有巨大的区别。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: And also, it'll alert you if the people are not taking that medication. So that is a huge difference between just a normal pill box.
Kyra Blackwell: 那么它基本上会在你的手机上通知你吗?好的。所以你可能在工作,你知道妈妈应该在中午吃药,它会通知你她是否已经吃了。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: So it like will it notify you on your phone basically? Okay. So you could be at work, you know, mom's supposed to take her pill at noon and it will notify you if if she has or hasn't.
Rachel Sarakola: 是的。它会向用户(即应该服药的人)和应用程序中指定的任何照护者发送提醒,如果他们没有服药的话。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Yes. It sends alerts to both the user, so the person's supposed to be taking the medication, and then any designated caregivers in the app if they're not taking it.
Kyra Blackwell: 那个多少钱?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: And how much does that cost?
Rachel Sarakola: 那很贵。它实际上有订阅费用,每月45美元。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: That's very expensive. It actually has a subscription cost that's $45 a month.
Kyra Blackwell: 那很贵。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: That's expensive.
Rachel Sarakola: 如果你注册,你必须承诺12个月。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: If you sign up, you have to have a 12 month commitment.
Kyra Blackwell: 哇。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Wow.
Rachel Sarakola: 但我的意思是,如果你不吃药,
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: But I mean, if you don't take your medication,
Kyra Blackwell: 你能给它定价吗?可能不能。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: can you put a price on that? Probably not.
Rachel Sarakola: 我想他们实际上可能会提供免费试用,然后你再决定是否长期使用。但有一点很重要,你应该总是向你的保险公司查询,或者如果你有像HSA(健康储蓄账户),你应该检查一下是否可以将其中任何部分用于这个设备。我们谈论的很多东西,就像我们说过的,都很昂贵,但人力时间也同样昂贵。所以,如果这能帮助你不需要一直有人在场,那么在某些方面,这实际上可能在经济上更划算。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: I think they actually might offer a free trial before you lock yourself in. But one thing that's important to note is you should always check with your insurance company or if you have like an HSA, you should check and see if you can apply any of that to this device. A lot of these things we're talking about, like we've said, are expensive, but human time is also expensive. So, if this is able to help you not have someone there all the time, then that could be financially better actually in some ways.
Christine Sir Cleette: 没错。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: Right.
Rachel Sarakola: 没错。我采访过的人,一个共同的主题是亲身照护是无可替代的,但显然你不可能每次需要吃药或有人不知道如何换电视频道时都跑过去。所以,是的,能够拥有这些替代方案会有帮助,而且也能帮助你。也许你进去后,可以花更多高质量的时间,而不是数药片和确保服药。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Right. people that I spoke to. I mean, a common theme was there's no substitute for being there in person, but obviously you can't run over every single time a pill needs to be taken or somebody doesn't know how to change the channel on the TV. So, yes, being able to have these substitutes can help and also helps. Maybe you go in and you're spending more quality time versus counting pills and making sure medication is taken.
文书与预算管理
Christine Sir Cleette: 那么,我们还有另一类需要整理的事情。那就是文书工作、预算和笔记。在所有这些方面,照护者面临的最大挑战是什么?
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: So, we have this other bucket of things that need to be organized. It's paperwork. It's budgeting. It's notes. What are the biggest challenges for caregivers when it comes to all of this?
Rachel Sarakola: 有太多的文书工作和太多需要跟踪的事情。在我有了自己的家庭经历之前,我从未考虑过像密码这样的事情。我知道在 Wirecutter,我们推荐密码管理器,但仅仅是……
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: There's so much paperwork and just so many things to keep track of. Something that I never thought about before I had my own family experience were things like passwords. And I know at Wire Cutter we recommend password managers, but just
Rachel Sarakola: 拥有任何形式的密码记录都是一件大事,但你可能还需要像某人的出生证明、他们的授权委托书文件、账号等。我认为我在这里学到的一点是,很多人想要纸质文件,这确实是。是的,他们确实需要。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: having any kind of record of passwords is a big deal, but you might also need like someone's birth certificate, their power of attorney paperwork, you know, account numbers. And I think something that I learned here is a lot of people want actual paper, which is something. Yes, they do.
Kyra Blackwell: 你的意思是,你可能要打交道的机构、银行或其他什么地方。医院,他们可能需要纸质文件。我采访过一位女士,她说有人让她传真文件,她当时就说:“传真?!”就好像,你知道,我不知道他们还有传真机。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Like you mean agencies that you're you might be dealing with or banks or whatever. the hospital, they might want it physically on paper. I spoke to one woman who said that someone told her to fax paperwork and she was like, "Fax?" Like, you know, I didn't know they still had fax machines.
Kyra Blackwell: 那么,您发现哪些工具最能帮助处理这一类别的问题?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: So, what are the best tools that you found to help with this category?
Rachel Sarakola: 很多人都提到使用文件夹或活页夹来存放文件,但说到传真,祝你好运找到传真机。有一个很棒的服务叫做Documo。它是一个数字传真服务,所以你不需要处理实际的机器,你可以像发送电子邮件一样发送文件。但这个服务与其他数字传真服务不同之处在于它符合HIPAA标准。所以,你不必担心发送敏感的医疗记录,或者你的社会安全号码,或者其他人的社会安全号码。它更安全一些。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: A lot of people talked about having a folder or a binder that you keep things in, but also as far as the fax, like good luck finding a fax machine. There's a there's a great service called Documo. It's a digital fax service, so you don't have to deal with an actual machine and you can send stuff almost like sending it through email. Except what makes this service different than other digital fax services is that it's HIPPA compliant. So, you don't have to worry about sending sensitive medical records or maybe your social security number or someone's social security number. It's a little bit more secure.
Christine Sir Cleette: 那太棒了。你可以用手机拍照,或者如果你电脑上已经有这些文档,就可以很容易地数字化发送。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: That's great. You can take pictures on your phone or if you already have these documents on your computer, it's easy to just send them digitally
Kyra Blackwell: 然后它基本上会在另一端打印出来,发送到别人的传真机。好的。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: and then it prints out on the other end to somebody else's fax machine essentially. Okay.
Rachel Sarakola: 是的。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Yes.
Kyra Blackwell: 好的。还有什么?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: All right. What else?
Rachel Sarakola: 另一个被提及的是人们喜欢清单。谁不喜欢一个好的清单呢?
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Another thing that came up was people love checklists. Who doesn't love a good checklist?
Christine Sir Cleette: 我喜欢清单。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: I love a checklist.
Rachel Sarakola: 我喜欢清单。一个很好的方法来整理你的清单是通过一个叫做To-Doist的应用程序。你不仅可以跟踪需要完成的任务,还可以与其他人共享。所以,我采访的一个人实际上说,他会为专业照护者创建一个清单,他们可以勾选已完成的任务,他也能看到什么时候完成了哪些事情,并且可以根据需要添加新的事项。当然,你还可以跟踪诸如预约、需要问医生的问题或购物清单等事情。所以,它非常方便。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: I love a checklist. And um a good way to keep your checklist organized is through an app called To-Doist. Not only can you keep track of tasks that need to be done, but also you can share them with other people. So, someone I spoke to actually said that he would create a checklist for a professional caregiver and they would be able to check it off and he could see when things were being completed and also add things as necessary. And then of course, you can also keep track of things like appointments or maybe questions you have to ask the doctor or grocery lists. So, it was came in handy.
Christine Sir Cleette: 我实际上也在用 To-Doist。我用的是免费版来帮助我跟踪我的任务。我喜欢它。我之前没意识到你可以把它发送给其他人。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: I actually use To-Doist. I use the free version to help me keep track of my assignments. I love it. I actually I didn't realize you could send it to other people.
Kyra Blackwell: 我试过,我试过。嗯,我确实注册了它,但我搞不清楚怎么用,所以我就放弃了。我又回到了我的 Google Docs。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: I tried I I tried I Well, I did I I signed up for it, but I couldn't figure out how to use it, so I stopped. I went back to my Google Docs.
Christine Sir Cleette: 尽管我是一个科技迷,但我确实喜欢一份手写清单,因为划掉已完成事项有一种满足感。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: As techie as I am, I do love a good handwritten checklist because there is something satisfying about crossing things off.
Rachel Sarakola: 绝对是。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Absolutely.
Rachel Sarakola: 人们谈论的另一件事是必须整理财务,
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: One other thing that people talked about was having to organize finances,
Rachel Sarakola: 我认为我们所有人都有财务问题,即使只有一个人或一个家庭。但当你把另一个人也卷进来时,事情会变得更复杂。所以,我采访的一个人推荐了Money Dance,这是一个软件程序,可以让你跟踪多个预算。我采访的这个人,他正在处理他父亲的开销,他是一名退伍军人。所以他们有资格从VA(美国退伍军人事务部)获得不同开销的报销,但他需要详细记录所有事情。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: which I think we all have problems with just when it's one person or a family. Uh, but when you throw someone else into the mix, it can be more complicated. So, a person I spoke to recommended Money Dance, which is a software program that allows you to keep track of multiple budgets. And this particular person I spoke to, he was dealing with his father's expenses and he he's a vet. So they were eligible to get money back from the VA for different expenses, but he needed to keep a detailed list of everything.
Kyra Blackwell: 所以那可能包括杂货,或者药物。我的意思是,想象一下你必须在预算中逐项列出所有东西,而且是针对一个人,
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: So that might be like groceries or, you know, medications. I mean, imagine having to itemize everything in your budget and also for one person,
Rachel Sarakola: 对吧?所以,这个软件可以很容易地把这些东西提取出来。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: right? M. So, this software makes it easy to pull those things out.
Christine Sir Cleette: 那太方便了。我喜欢。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: That's super handy. I like that.
Rachel Sarakola: 是的,
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Yes,
Christine Sir Cleette: 这里有很多很棒的建议。我觉得任何处于照护情况的人,至少其中一项建议可能会适合他们,但我们还是简单回顾一下。我们谈到了药物。如果你需要帮助某人管理药物,Hero Smart Pill Dispenser在这种情况下可能是一个非常好的解决方案。它确实附带一笔相当高的订阅服务费,但这可能取决于你的情况,对你来说是值得的。然后对于文书工作这个大类别,我们有Documo,这是一种非常酷的传真技术,我甚至都喜欢它了。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: this is there's just so many good uh tips in here. I I feel like anybody who's kind of in this situation of caregiving, like at least one of these recommendations would probably suit, but let's just recap really briefly. So, we've talked about medication. If you are in a situation where you're trying to help someone manage their medication, the Hero Smart Pill Dispenser could be a really good solution in this case. It does have a pretty steep subscription service fee that comes along with it, but that might be worth it to you depending on your situation. And then for this big category of paperwork, we've got Documo, which is the very cool faxing technology, which um I even said it like it.
Kyra Blackwell: 没想到你会这么说。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Never thought you would say that.
Christine Sir Cleette: 我的意思是,我可能也会用它,因为我偶尔需要传真一些东西。To-Doist,它会帮助你制作和共享清单。然后是Money Dance,如果你正在寻找预算解决方案的话。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: I mean, I could probably use that because every once in a while I have to fax something. To-d Doist, which um will help you make checklists and share them. And then money dance if you're looking for some solutions for budgeting.
科技工具的适用性与智能家居建议
Kyra Blackwell: 是的。我们谈了很多科技解决方案,但如果有人不那么精通科技怎么办?人们应该如何衡量是否投资这些工具呢?因为它们真的很贵。当然,如果不起作用,你就会损失很多钱。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Yeah. So, we've talked about a lot of tech solutions, but what if somebody isn't super tech-savvy? How should someone gauge whether to invest in these tools? Because they are really expensive. And of course, if it doesn't work, then you're out a lot of money.
Rachel Sarakola: 它们非常昂贵。我想说,如果你对科技不熟悉,你应该循序渐进。很多人喜欢用日记本,或者像我说的,他们喜欢用文件夹。你需要弄清楚什么最适合你。如果你对科技不适应,你不想通过添加科技来使事情复杂化。不过,这些东西很多都非常容易学习。如果你对科技不是很熟悉,我不会建议你一下子买下我们清单上的所有东西,但有很多设备你可以尝试。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: They're very expensive. I would say that if you're not comfortable with technology, you should really ease into it. A lot of people love having a journal or they, like I said, they love having folders. You need to figure out what is best for you. You don't want to complicate things by adding tech into it if you're not comfortable with the technology. A lot of these things though, they make it very easy to learn. I wouldn't jump in and go buy everything on our list if you're not super comfortable with technology, but there are a lot of devices that you can try.
Christine Sir Cleette: Rachel,您还有另一篇文章,我们在节目开头提到了。我们会在节目笔记中附上链接,那是关于帮助居家养老的科技设备。这篇文章中还有没有其他与我们今天讨论相关、对远程或同城照护者非常有帮助的项目?您想在这里分享那篇文章中的哪些亮点?
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: Rachel, you have this other piece that we mentioned at the top of the episode. We'll link it in the show notes and it's tech devices to help aging in place. Are there any other items in this piece that are relevant to the conversation we've had today that would be really helpful if you're a caregiver trying to manage someone remotely or maybe even in the same town? What are some of the sort of highlights from that piece that you that you would want to bring here?
Rachel Sarakola: 我想说,我最喜欢的一些设备也是最容易添加的设备,那就是智能灯泡。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: I would say a few of my favorite devices are also some of the easiest devices to add and those would be smart bulbs
Rachel Sarakola: 和智能插头。两者都相对便宜且易于设置,并且可以真正改变一个人的日常生活。说到智能灯泡,我不知道你怎么样,但我讨厌走进一个黑暗的房间。老年人可能会有跌倒或受伤的风险。智能灯泡。它就像拧灯泡一样简单,你把它连接到一个应用程序,然后你可以设置它在一天中的特定时间开启和关闭。更复杂一点,你可以用运动传感器设置它,这样当有人走进房间时灯就会亮。这非常容易实现。还有智能插头。它只需插入墙壁,连接到一个应用程序,任何插入墙壁的电器都可以插入智能插头。所以你可能有一个风扇或台灯,你可以用应用程序控制它。与智能插头类似,设置它在一天中的不同时间开启和关闭。那太棒了。我知道有些人也用它来控制空调。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: and smart plugs. Both are relatively inexpensive and easy to set up and can really change a person's dayto-day. When it comes to smart bulbs, I don't know about you, but I hate walking into a dark room. Um, someone that's older could risk falling or just injuring themselves. smart bulbs. It's as easy as screwing in a light bulb and you connect it to an app and you can set it up to go on and off at certain times of day. A little bit more complicated. You could set it up with a motion sensor so someone walks into the room and the light goes on. That's very easy to implement. And also smart plugs. It just plugs into the wall, connects to an app, and anything electrical that plugs into the wall, you can plug into the smart plug. So maybe you have a fan or a lamp and you can just control that with an app. Similar to the smart plugs, set it to go on and off at different times of day. That's great. I know some people use that for their AC, too.
Kyra Blackwell: 是的。所以它不会全天运行,但你也可以在回家前打开它,这样房间就不会太热。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Yes. So it's not running all day, but also maybe you turn it on like before you get home so it's not super hot in the room.
个人推荐
Kyra Blackwell: 好的,Rachel,我们到了最后一个问题,那就是,您最近购买的、真正喜欢的东西是什么?
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Okay, Rachel, we've made it to the last question, which is, what's the last thing you've bought that you've really loved?
Rachel Sarakola: 我没买,但我刚得到了Ninja 空气炸锅,我爱它。我爱它。它太容易使用了。我之前有一个不同的空气炸锅,它一团糟,我担心它迟早会着火,但这个非常容易清洁,而且它看起来很小,但容量很大,占用台面空间也更少,我爱它。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: I didn't buy it, but I just got the Ninja air fryer, which I love. I love it. So easy to I had a different air fryer and it was just a mess and I was afraid it was going to catch on fire at some point, but this one is so easy to clean and it looks small, but it holds a lot and takes up less space on the counter and I love it.
Christine Sir Cleette: 你说什么意思,你没买它?
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: What do you mean you didn't buy it?
Rachel Sarakola: 我没买。不,不,但它是在我强烈暗示我想要它之后,别人送给我的。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: I didn't buy it. No, no, but it was it was gifted to me after some heavy um suggestions that I wanted it.
Christine Sir Cleette: 那太棒了。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: That's lovely.
Kyra Blackwell: 嗯,Rachel,这非常有帮助。我们今天讨论的所有内容都将在节目笔记中提供链接。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Well, this has been super helpful, Rachel. We'll link to everything we talked about in the show notes today.
Rachel Sarakola: 太好了。谢谢。谢谢您来这里。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: Great. Thank you. Thanks for being here.
Christine Sir Cleette: 谢谢,
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: Thank you,
Kyra Blackwell: Kyra。这确实是我们节目中讨论过的比较沉重的话题之一。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Kyra. This truly was one of the heavier topics we've covered on the show.
Christine Sir Cleette: 有点令人痛心,我不撒谎。是的。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: A bit harrowing, I'm not going to lie. Yeah.
Kyra Blackwell: 是的。我的意思是,照护,你对你所爱的人所能表达的,无论是孩子还是年迈的父母,可能没有比照顾他们更大的服务和荣誉了,这可能非常具有挑战性。它非常情感化,而且有太多的细节需要跟踪。是的,
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Yeah. I mean, caregiving, there's probably no greater service and honor you can show your loved ones than taking care of them, whether they're children, whether they're your aging parents, and it can be very challenging. It's very emotional, and then there's just so many details to keep track of. Yeah,
Christine Sir Cleette: 我从与 Rachel 的对话中得到的一个重要启示是,专注于如何将这些工具融入你的生活以帮助你保持条理,或许可以减轻一些负担。无论是建立更好的方式与你合作的人沟通,还是预算管理,思考哪些事情能为你带来最大的回报。而且我认为我们在这期节目中讨论的所有内容并不适合每个人,
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: the big takeaway that I'm taking from this conversation with Rachel is that focusing on the ways that you can build some of these tools into your life to help you stay organized can maybe lift some of the burden. Whether it's building better ways to communicate with the people that you're working with, whether it's budgeting, thinking through what are the things that will have the biggest payoff for you. And I don't think that everything we talked about in this episode is going to be right for everyone,
Kyra Blackwell: 对吧?我的意思是,我认为对我个人来说,Skylight Calendar这样的东西就很合适。我真的很喜欢这个。你的眼睛都亮了。我当时想,“哦,我需要这个。”我觉得这样的东西对我的家庭会非常有帮助。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: right? I mean, one thing that is right for me personally, I think, is something like this skylight calendar. I really like this. Um, your eyes lit up. I was like, "Oo, I need this." I think that something like that would be really helpful just for my family.
Christine Sir Cleette: 是的,我认为 Rachel 推荐的很多产品都可以使用。我记性不太好,所以我用 To-Doist。我觉得它超级有用,现在我知道我可以把我的清单发给其他人了。以前不知道。在照护这个领域,我真正认识到的一个现实是,除了情感成本和时间成本之外,还有巨大的经济成本。使用这些东西很多都很昂贵。我认为每个人都必须为自己的家庭,为自己生命中的人做最适合的选择。你不可能买下所有这些东西,甚至可能什么都买不起,但我们在这里提到了一些免费的东西。所以,这有点像你必须评估自己的情况,并优先考虑你认为能获得最大价值的东西。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: Yeah, I think a lot of these products that Rachel recommended could be used. I have trouble remembering things, which is why I use To-Doist. I think it's super helpful, and now I know I can send my checklist to other people. Didn't know that before. A reality that I have really come to uh realize exists in this world of care takingaking caregiving is the massive cost along with the emotional cost and the time. It is expensive to use many of these things. I think it's just everybody has to do what's best for their families, for the people in their lives. You're not going to be able to buy all of this stuff, maybe not even be able to buy any of it, but we have mentioned some free things in here. So, it's kind of like you just have to assess your own situation and and prioritize what you think you'll get the most value out of.
Kyra Blackwell: 没错。
Original English
Kyra Blackwell: Right.
Christine Sir Cleette: 是的。
Original English
Christine Sir Cleette: Yeah.
Kyra Blackwell: 好的,如果您对我们今天提到的任何内容感兴趣,我们会在节目笔记中提供所有链接,包括 Rachel 的文章链接,我们讨论的两篇文章,以及我们今天提到的所有产品。我们今天的节目到此结束。下周再见。非常感谢您的收听。再见。

Rachel Sarakola: 我一路闯到了最后,但我没有在最后一题上押上所有分数,而另一个人押了,我们俩都答对了。
Original English
Rachel Sarakola: I made it all the way to the end, but I didn't wager all of my points on the last question, and the other guy did, and we both got the question right.
