Being a caregiver is no joke. There is always a lot of tasks that needs to be done to ensure the safety and well-being of the person being taken care of. On top of that, there is also always a need to cope with behaviors. Sometimes, these tasks can become overwhelming and exhausting. This is one of the unpleasant realities of day to day caregiving, which is described in depth in One Caregiver’s Journey.
Elder care, also known as Senior Care, may encompass assisted living, nursing care, adult day care, hospice care and in-home care. It is a known fact that as we age there is a general decline in health. In my book, One Caregiver’s Journey, this is described as the transition period. Transition may come lightning fast through an illness such as broken hip or stroke, or over time as your loved one loses mobility or other chronic health issues arise due to normal aging, such as diabetes or arthritis. In my case, I became my mother’s 24/7 full time caregiver shortly after she broke her hip. She remained in my home home until her death 9 ½ years later at the age of 102.
