It helps to start looking now to gather as much information as you can about these services. That's where the Care Source can help. If the family wants, we also help set up, coordinate and provide services for the older adult. Seek support from other caregivers. No person should have to feel that way, especially a person who's giving so much to another.
Support groups give caregivers a safe, understanding place to talk about fears and frustrations.
The groups are a great place to get tips on how other caregivers have learned to balance caring for others and caring for themselves. Fairview, with help from the United Way, sponsors a variety of free caregiver support groups, both daytime and evening, throughout the twin cities metro area.
