Family Caregiver Tips! Get Help!

Being a family caregiver is a tough job. Don't get burned out. We need you! Here are a few tips to help you fight the burn!

 

10 Helpful Tips:

1. Caregiving is a tough job and respite is your earned right. Talk to someone, let us know when you need a break.

2. When people offer to help, accept the offer and suggest specific things that they can do.

3. Educate yourself about your family member's health condition.

4. There’s a difference between caring and doing. Be open to new ideas that promote your family member's independence.

5. Trust your instincts. Most of the time they’ll lead you in the right direction. Contact your healthcare provider when something isn't right.

6. Caregivers often do a lot of lifting, pushing, and pulling. Use all safety guidelines when lifting.

7. Grieve for your losses, let go and let God.

8. Be aware of signs of depression, and get professional help quickly.

9. Seek support from others. There is comfort in knowing you are not alone.

10. Stand up for your rights. Know your rights as a caregiver or patient!
