BE ENCOURANGED

We actively promote a culture of wellness and preventive healthcare for our caregivers. Even the family members that are not the most present.

for those that are hands on care most days; most of the 24-hour period It is common knowledge that this can take a toll your physical, emotional, mental and relational health. But do we take into consideration that. long-distance caretakers may still feel scared and nervous even though they may not feel as physically worn out and spent as the hands-on caregiver.

Sometimes, family members who are far away or not the primary feel terrible for not being more present, not doing enough, the guilt from the time between visits, and perhaps even feeling jealous of those who do. Sometimes they may not know where to start.

Communication is key 

remember; we cannot read each other's mind and it's never wise to presume other's motives and movements according to our past experiences with our family members. All preferences aside the issue at hand is A+ care for the ones we say we love.

Caregiving is not easy for anyone — not for the caregiver and surly not for the one being cared for. There will be sacrifices and adjustments for everyone, and you may feel that what you are doing is never enough and even all that you do is not seen as important.

Remember that you are doing the best you can given the circumstances and that you can only do what you can do. It may help to know that these are feelings shared by many caregivers. 

you are not alone in this.
