The compassion in giving back to our caregivers
Serving as a family caregiver for a senior or loved one with disability is an admirable, and sometimes draining, undertaking. If you’ve found yourself in this position, likely, you’ve already come to understand the challenges of being a family caregiver.
GLEN OAKS HEALTH CARE SERVICES understands how fulfilling and trying it can be to care for a loved one, which is why we offer a special program that allows caregivers the time to take care of themselves, too. Respite care, also known as “short break care,” provides short-term relief to primary caregivers, so they have time for activities such as:
Running errands
Shopping
Meeting with a support group,
Attending a medical appointment
Getting well-rested
It’s in your nature as a family caregiver to be selfless, but don’t forget your responsibility to give yourself personal time and nourishment. Ultimately, the time you take for yourself will allow you to return to caregiving duties with more patience, care, and understanding.
