The rewards of providing care for a senior loved one are incredible. But they also can create stress, a snowballing effect, impacting relationships, work, hobbies and pastimes. A healthy caregiver is better able to meet the needs of the one being cared for when taking care of themself. To keep caregiver burnout at bay try taking control and reminding yourself of all the things which are in your control, focus on the positives and seek out support through family, friends and members of your loved one's religious organization.
