#EP40: Family Caregivers Are Rarely Prepared

Just like every person with Dementia will be a little different, each family caregiver will be different yet it is still a huge responsibility. I had no idea what was really involved. I was a seasoned RN and still found myself with so much to learn. There are many dynamics that play a part of what will make this situation successful and you will need tools like I did to avoid or at least prepare for the challenges that will arise. Some of the issues: Are you local or not? How is the relationship with your parent or loved one? Do you have any knowledge about caregiving? Do your parents have resources to pay for extra help once it is needed? Can they be left alone and so many more questions need to be considered when we step into the task of caring for another individual. Join us today to learn how to prepare for this rewarding responsibility so you can be successful and not lose your own health in the process.
