Feeling overwhelmed with the demands of caregiving? When a loved one in the Spartanburg area needs support to live at home safely, it only makes sense you’d want to jump in and help. Whether it’s running errands or performing household chores, taking on caregiver duties can seem manageable at first. However, as your loved ones’ needs increase, you can experience burnout.
Tips to Avoiding Caregiver Burnout:
- Ask for help! Needing help is normal. No one can do it alone.
- Take breaks—walk around the block, chat with a friend, read a magazine.
- Care for yourself. Be sure to get enough sleep and exercise.
- Get up early to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea before the start of your day. Pray.
- Make a list and delegate tasks to others that want to help. Meal trains are a great way for others to get involved.
At Interim HealthCare of the Upstate, we know how important it is for caregivers to practice self-care. If you push yourself beyond your limits— your own physical, mental, and emotional health will suffer. It’s just as important to your loved ones that you make time to care for yourself while caring for them. With our support, you can better balance those priorities.
