We know how much time, energy and emotion goes into being a Caregiver and sometime they don’t want anyone else to help but you. Let us assist you in supporting your loved ones with homecare on a short term basis. Here are some signs of Caregiver stress (courtesy of the Alzheimer’s Association) that you should look out for:
- • Social withdrawal from friends and activities that once brought pleasure.
- • Anxiety about facing another day and what the future holds.
- • Depression begins to affect ability to cope and break the Caregiver’s spirit.
- • Exhaustion makes it nearly impossible to complete necessary daily tasks.
- • Sleeplessness caused by a never-ending list of concerns.
- • Irritability leads to moodiness and triggers negative responses and reactions.
- • Lack of concentration makes it difficult to perform familiar tasks.
- • Health problems begin to take their toll, both mentally and physically.
- • Anger because no effective treatments or cures currently exist, and people don’t understand what’s going on.
