A caregiver is anyone who is actively engaged in providing care to another person in need, such as an aging parent or an ill spouse. While caregivers can be paid professionals, most are family members or friends who provide care to their loved one. Caregiving is a demanding job that most of us will face at some point in our lives. According to the Family Caregiver Alliance, each year approximately 44 million Americans provide 37 billion hours of unpaid “informal” care for adult loved ones with chronic illnesses or conditions that make it difficult to handle daily activities.

Taking care of a loved one at home involves assisting them with tasks that they can no longer handle on their own, such as bathing, dressing, mobility, preparing meals, managing medication and more. It also means making the home a less hazardous environment. You might make simple fixes for fall prevention, such as removing throw rugs, or install daily living aids such as grab bars and handrails. Depending on your loved one’s changing needs over time, you may need extra assistance and expertise. Consider reaching out to professionals, such as occupational therapists and geriatric care managers, to assess the home and make recommendations.

To help new caregivers, the Family Caregiver Alliance recommends learning about your loved one’s diagnosis, talking about finances and healthcare wishes, bringing family and close friends together to discuss the care needed, taking advantage of community resources (such as Meals on Wheels and adult day programs) and finding support through in-person groups and online communities. Caregiving can be a challenging job, and it’s easy to become overwhelmed. Successful caregivers also need to care for themselves and ask for help if experiencing burnout.

There are many things caregivers can do to reduce stress and help avoid burnout (a state of mental, emotional and physical exhaustion). It’s important to speak up when you’re feeling overwhelmed, enlist help from others, prioritize activities that you find fulfilling, get out of the house and find ways to pamper yourself. Taking care of your own health is crucial, including exercising, eating well and getting enough sleep. Practicing relaxation, in the form of mindfulness mediation, deep breathing or yoga, is a great way to decompress.

Thank you so much for all your help with my recent dilemma with my oxygen concentrator. It is not easy trying to operate with no medical insurance, and not everyone is willing to work on solutions. I really appreciate your understanding and assistance.

I would like to thank you very much for your kindness and help in getting me the oxygen that I needed for my stay here in Detroit. Without the O2, my stay over the last weekend would have been very hard to handle as Cindy had a busy weekend for me. We slowed down during the week, but we were still very much on the go.

In the name of the people served by the Capuchin Soup Kitchen, I am writing to thank you for the more than half ton of processed, prize-winning beef that you donated recently.
