Caregiver Help Desk
The Caregiver Help Desk is a comprehensive support center you can access by phone, email or live chat. Live conversations with our caregiving experts can provide you tailored guidance on basic or complex caregiving issues, such as dementia, insurance, senior housing, health and finance. The Caregiver Help Desk is staffed by highly experienced accredited professionals who have been through their own caregiving journeys.
Bringing in Help
The truth is, sometimes you just need more help! While the skills and duties of home care personnel vary, all have one thing in common: they make it possible for care recipients to remain at home in a safe environment and, in some cases, to have more independence than they did before. Outside help also allows family caregivers to replenish their depleted physical and emotional reserves.
Caregiver Well-Being
You know from first-hand experience that caring for others is stressful; research confirms it. Over time, giving care takes a toll on your body, your personal finances, your family relationships and your work life. It can erode your immune system and increase your susceptibility to illness, anxiety, and depression. We’re here for you. Our self-care practices will show you how to manage caregiver stress and preserve your health, well-being, and capacity to care.
Feelings You May Have
Nothing can really prepare you for the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being a family caregiver. Many caregivers experience feelings of anxiety, depression, and guilt. Just know that all these feelings are normal. Depressed? Exhausted? Feeling angry? Having trouble sleeping? Feelings You May Have is there to show you how other caregivers cope and maintain their balance, so they can be there for their loved ones.
