So, it’s not surprising to find that most family caregivers struggle to balance the task of caring for an aging parent or relative with other major life responsibilities.  This often means that these caregivers have little time left to care for themselves – which can result in their experiencing high stress levels and resultant health problems.  In fact, according to this same survey, 55 percent of family caregivers appear to have average or significant levels of stress.

The problem, of course, is that when caregivers neglect self care, they end up incapable of assisting those seniors who need their help in the first place.  For example, Home Instead Senior Care and Caring Today Magazine recently held an essay contest – one that, not surprisingly, had the theme of caregiving.  One prize-winning entry put it succinctly: “A worn-out caregiver is good to no one.”

We will conclude our post and explanation on non-medical care in New Braunfels in a day.
