Challenges family caregivers face

Family care givers take on a big role for their sick loved one. Being there for them is their top priority. The most common issues they could face along the way could be

• Lack of privacy
• Emotion and physical stress
• No privacy
• Sleep deprivation
• Depression and anxiety

A caregiver needs their alone time to get refreshed and get their things going as well. Which is why It is good to ask or seek for some help from a facility or in-home hospice for some certain time off or extra hands.

Caregiver responsibilities

Home care is a way of caring for elderly in the comfort of their home and being there for them 24/7. They have many responsibilities in which they have to do daily. These responsibilities could be to meal prep, light housekeeping, keeping up with their medication, dressing and bathing, respite care, personal care and more.

Solutions and coping skills for patients and caregivers

Having a patient that has to experience end of life care can be very overwhelming. Facing lifelong challenges is very intense and could lead to depression and anxiety for patients and caregivers.

Here are some tips in solutions for bettering the environment for caregivers and patients. Having clear communication is a top solution, it can clear up some differences between what each person is wanting for themselves.

Seeking assistance is another solution in which could help out in the long run. This could help give extra hands for your caregiver to have more time for themselves and still be a part of the patient’s life. Sometimes the patients want some privacy from their loved one so this could be a good deal for both ways.

Grief support is another solution used for a lot of patients and family members to better cope with their anxiety and depression leading to end of life.

Planning ahead is another idea to have for a caregiver to be consistent and still have her life and the patient’s life planned out ahead of time to avoid conflict.
