When your loved one finds themselves in need of help, many of us rightfully feel it is our duty to take care of them. This is true when a parent begins to suffer from complications due to old age, just as it is when a family member undergoes a surgery that limits their ability to take care of day-to-day tasks.
The problem is these situations can result in a lot of added responsibilities and stressors for the informal caregiver, which can lead to declining health. At Assisting Hands, we provide respite care services for families in Palatine, IL, who need a break from providing this care.
Informal Caregiving
It is completely natural to feel stressed out when providing informal care. Over 65 million Americans provide this kind of care for a loved one, and roughly 25% of them report they are in poor health. There are a number of factors that contribute to this startling statistic which include the following:
- The stress of seeing a loved one struggle to take care of themselves
- Lack of sleep due to added responsibilities and stress
- What amounts to another job added on top of an existing career and familial obligations
At Assisting Hands, we have spoken to a number of informal caregivers who felt bad about having trouble caring for their loved one; they felt guilty for wanting to take a break. But it’s completely natural to have these thoughts, and there are very legitimate reasons to take a break. For starters, it can improve your own health, and result in better care for your loved one.
