    Caregivers Need Care, Too

    Caregivers Need Care, Too

    The responsibility that comes with caring for a loved one can become overwhelming if the caregiver does not also care for him or her self. It is important to take opportunities to step away from caregiving and recharge when possible. We’ve compiled a list of online resources to help caregivers care for themselves. See our top picks below.

    Family Caregiver Alliance: National Center on Caregiving
    https://caregiver.org/taking-care-you-self-care-family-caregivers
    The Family Caregiver Alliance seeks to improve the quality of life of caregivers through education, services, research, and advocacy. Their website provides self-care tips, a sign up form for a free e-newsletter, and caregiver education.

    The Caregivers Voice
    http://thecaregiversvoice.com
    The Caregiver’s Voice is a website “Bringing Caregivers Hope and Strength with Knowledge, Support and Humor.” It was started by author Brenda Avadian, who became a voice for those caring for loved one’s with Alzheimer’s while she and her husband were caring for her father who had Alzheimer’s.

    Alzheimer’s Association: Alzheimer’s & Dementia Caregiver’s Center
    https://www.alz.org/care/
    The Alzheimer’s Association’s website provides fantastic information for caregivers. Resources are provided to help at each stage of disease, which can be extremely helpful. Knowledge about the disease coupled with self-care tips can reduce stress for the caregiver and increase confidence.
