Help the caregiver get away from their everyday responsibilities. Provide opportunities for play. Call up the caregiver and invite them to go for a walk. Help keep humor in the lives of the caregiver and receiver. Many caregivers find themselves longing for companionship with others who are going through the same situation.
Support groups can be very beneficial to many people.
It is a way to receive emotional and social support from others. It is also a way to improve general wellness and personal strength. Relieve personal stress and strain by seeking help from family, friends, or a support group. This will benefit both the caregiver and the older dependent family member in the future. Asking for support or help doesn't imply weakness.
