Caregiver Series: Three More Critical Areas of Focus

As many of you are well aware, caregiving can be an emotional rollercoaster and there is often the inclination to forget one’s own needs.  

In one of our April posts we noted three areas in which caregivers should take care of themselves. Here are three additional and equally-important considerations for family caregivers:

1. Join a support group.
2. In addition to talking to your loved one's physician about the needs of your loved one, talk to your physician about your needs and what is going on with you.
3. Manage your stress, exercise, get respite and take time for you.
