The dictionary definition of caregiver is a family member or paid helper who regularly looks after a child or a sick, elderly, or disabled person. The legal definition is someone, typically over age 18, who provides care for another. It may be a person who is responsible for the direct care, protection, and supervision of children in a child care home, or someone who tends to the needs of the elderly or disabled. A caregiver has many jobs and does everything for the one they are caring for. From making doctor appointments, to bathing and feeding them. While caring for a loved one can be very rewarding it also involves many stressors. Caregiver burnout is very real. It is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. Burnout can occur when caregivers don’t get the help they need, or if they try to do more than they are able, physically or financially. Here are a few simple ways to care for caregivers: ~Laugh about something everyday. ~Eat a well-balanced diet. ~Talk with someone every day. ~Give yourself persmission to cry. ~Excercise. ~Get adequate rest.
“There are only four types of people in this world. Those who have been caregivers. Those who are currently caregivers. Those who will be caregivers, and those who will need a caregiver.” ~Rosalyn Carter.
