11/20/2012 November Webinar - “Who Takes Care of the Caregiver?” The 50 minute webinar will be held on Tuesday November 20th at 12 pm, 2 pm and 4 pm EST.
Caregivers deserve our thanks and so much more. Caring for an older family member can take a tremendous toll on the caregiver’s physical and mental well-being. Loss of sleep, poor eating habits, and lack of exercise—all of these can lead to caregiver stress and burnout. It’s sometimes difficult for caregivers to remember that to take care of anyone else, they first have to take care of themselves. We can help. We have a full library of articles, tip sheets, resource links, and stress management tools. Our helpful care consultants can provide referrals to community resources and respite services.
