For many, caregiving isn't just a job or duty. It is a testament to doing what is right for a loved one. Caregiving is an unspoken promise that many of us make in our relationships, vowing to be there for our loved ones when they need us. However, not everyone has the time, resources, or ability to care for their aging or disabled loved one without assistance.
As a caregiver, it's crucial to acknowledge your limits, take care of yourself, understand your community resources, and comprehend the desires and needs of the person who needs care.
Washington's Family Caregiver Support Program aids caregivers in supporting their loved ones and themselves.
