Abstract:
Family members who play a major role in caring for elderly relatives frequently ignore their own needs. Some find themselves virtually
homebound and consumed by caregiving tasks. When caregiving is prolonged over months and years, the self-sacrifice is particularly
harmful. We have prepared this publication to help you maintain your
personal well-being while providing quality care for an elderly
relative. We will discuss the sources of stress and how you
can master stress for your own benefit and that of the person for
whom you are providing care.
