For Caregivers
Understanding the Caregiver Challenge
It is no coincidence that you are here. You are on an emotionally complex and physically demanding journey of tending to your elderly loved ones and have realized you can no longer travel this path by yourself.
​
You have found this site, and this page, in your search for ways to help, support, and guide you in making the many, and often, difficult decisions on your loved ones' behalf.
​
You want them to be safe and secure. You want peace of mind knowing you've made the right decisions. Yet, the challenge of the amount of information you need to process and prioritize along with the speed in which you need to understand circumstances as they change is often critical and demanding on caregivers alike. It can feel overwhelming as to whether those decisions are the right ones for your senior parent or spouse.
This is a far more complex journey than most people realize. Caregiving for an elderly person is a daunting task. There are so many aspects of elder care to consider, and the learning curve is massive. Whether taking a gradual, proactive approach or needing to respond to the crisis, your role as a caregiver includes becoming knowledgeable in the many different areas which can impact your elderly loved ones' quality of life. Understanding and then making decisions on their behalf for such things as; nutrition, medical conditions, pharmaceuticals, mental health, safety, financial and legal matters, and housing options are but a few of the topics to address.
Moreover, it is a big change occurring in the relationship you have with your elder parent or spouse. Getting support, finding resources, and having mentoring in times when you don't know where to turn is why Aging with Grace is here for you.
You're not alone!
