Are you in a caregiving role for aging relatives? Let me help you find the answer. Do you answer "yes" to one of the following?


  • Driving to and from doctor and other health care appointments.

  • Helping someone clean their home or arranging for house cleaning
  • Assisting with or arraning for home repairs
  • Helping arrange for home health care or hospice services
  • Contacting or helping someone communicate with community service organizations Area Agency on Aging or Alzheimer's Association
Based on the research,caring for an elderly person requires understanding of the aging process, knowledge of community resources, legal and financial matters, long-term planning and, of equal importance, knowledge of how to take care of yourself, as the primary caregiver. Additional research reports caregiver stress as the most pervasive health problem, stemming from worry about their loved one�s condition as well as being overwhelmed with caregiving responsibilities.

Hi Carol,
Wonderful article and I want to make you aware of an important resource for caregivers.
I've written a book entitled Help Is Not a Four-Letter Word: Why Doing It All Is Doing You In where I identify a never before discussed self defeating behavior I call The Self-Sufficiency Syndrome and the person a Self-Sufficient. From the workshops I do, I can tell you that it's near epidemic!! Many of us can't ask for help, do everything all by ourelves, can't delegate and are headed for burnout.
We caregivers and I was one - for both of my parents - are carrying that stigma our culture has put on us into our caregiving - that it's a weakness to ask for help!! Years of indoctrination are difficult to break through and even if we realize and have been better at asking - when put in a highly stressed situation like caregiving, we go back to our default position, which is being a Self-Sufficient!

If we can make caregivers aware of this and they can ask someone to hold them accountable- although difficult - they can start to break that cycle.

I wish I could afford to give every caregiver a book because there are 3 chapters of solutions!!

Let me know what I can do to help.
