Take care of yourself to take care of others

Caregiver burnout happens when you devote the majority of your time, energy and resources to taking care of others; neglecting your own time and health in the process.

If this sounds too close to you, maybe it’s time for you to slow down and take care of yourself. We have to be able to watch out for ourselves in order to take care for others.

Some new changes in Medicare are offering a better financial support and training to family caregivers. Health Care providers will be able to bill Medicare for basic and high-risk patient training.

As a caregiver, getting help can be the best help you can offer for a senior loved one.
