How to support a caregiver

Published

on

Do you know a caregiver? Do you want to help make their life easier? If so, here are some effective ways to support them.

Find resources
Many services and activities are available for caregivers, including in-home respite care and various types of workshops. Make a list of resources that could benefit your friend or family member. This will save them the time and trouble of doing it themself.

Share information
Gather articles, guides, and testimonials to help your friend or family member cope with the ups and downs of caregiving. For example, you could share a few tips with them about how to balance caregiving with full-time work responsibilities.

Lend them your time
Caregivers often have very busy schedules. To help make their load lighter, offer grocery shopping, prepare meals or do housework. You could even take over their caregiving responsibilities for a few hours to give them some time to rest.

To find extensive caregiver resources, visit caregiver.org.
