How to Help a Parent Who Is the Primary Caregiver

8/28/2022

2 Comments

 
Caring for an older family member often requires teamwork. A primary caregiver — especially a parent — may be hesitant to ask for help or a break. A few ways you can help are:
  • Provide emotional and moral support. Acknowledge how important the caregiver has been and discuss the physical and emotional effects of caregiving. Just listening may not sound like much help, but often it is.
  • Offer to arrange for respite care. Respite care will give your parent a break from caregiving responsibilities and an opportunity to care for themselves.
  • Help coordinate a move to assisted living or a nursing home. In time, the person receiving care may have to move to a residential facility. If that happens, you can help your parent by selecting a facility that fits everybody’s needs.

Nice infomation. The role of primary caregiver is a demanding one, both physically and emotionally. It can be difficult to watch a parent juggle work, childcare, and other responsibilities while also trying to take care of him or herself.
