Feel Like You’re Doing Everything?

November 21, 2019 By Stephanie Miller

Caregiver in Oregon City OR: Caregiver Doing Everything

It’s awfully easy as a caregiver to wake up one day and realize that you’re handling every single task every day. That’s overwhelming in the short run and in the long run it’s completely unsustainable. You need to have a better answer and that means you need to reevaluate what you’re doing.


Put a Support System Together

Everyone needs a support system in every area of their lives. For you as a caregiver, a support system is absolutely crucial. It’s what gives you the emotional and practical support that you need to keep on being a caregiver. Your support system might be made up of friends, family members, and a variety of other people in your life and in your senior’s life. Keep an open mind about who and what make up your support system.


Look Realistically at What You Alone Can Do

There truly is a lot that you can do on your own, but you can’t do it all. There’s a limit and you might find that your limits vary depending on how you’re feeling and on what else is going on. The important thing is that you start to learn and to respect your own boundaries. When you can do that effectively, you’re on the right path to getting the help that you need.


Learn to Delegate to Your Support System

Once you’ve got a handle at what you can do and what you need help doing, you need to rely on your support system. Determine who can handle what for you and ask those folks to take those tasks on for you. If no one in your support system can take those tasks over for you, that doesn’t mean you’re left in the lurch. Home care providers might be the right solution for your situation.


Perfection Is Going to Be a Problem

Trying to be perfect is always a problem, but it’s particularly an issue for caregivers. Perfection is going to keep you doing more and more, but getting less from all of that effort. Slow down and let yourself delegate. You don’t have to get it all right all the time. Start to feel okay with “good enough,” because that’s going to serve you better than perfection does.


Being a caregiver is tough, but it’s even more difficult if you’re the one left doing everything. There are ways to resolve that issue, but you might have to get creative with your situation.

    Testimonials

    Rebecca

    Thank you for sending Tina into my mother’s home. Tina was like a ray of sunshine entering a window that had been closed off for a very long time. Tina was extremely attentitive and caring while handling very demanding and challenging daily tasks. Her friendship and care for my mother during her final days was touching. Feel free to add me to your referral list.

    Joanne

    Thanks so much for helping us find the right care solution for my Mother. She loves living at the assisted living community and has made a couple of friends already. Your assistance and knowledge were greatly appreciated and it took a lot of stress off of our shoulders during a very difficult period for our family.

    Susan

    We wanted to thank you for sending a wonderful caregiver - Julie. She has been such a needed help to our father during his last year of life. Julie was always on time and always happy to do what was required to care for our beloved father when he needed it most. Thank you so much for all your support and help.

    Joan

    I wanted to thank you for all your great help and assistance this past 3 months during our mother’s surgery and recovery. She speaks so highly of the caregiver (Annette). Thank you for helping my Mom get back on her feet again. She looks great! All the best.

    Angela

    Thank you so much for your outstanding homecare services and support. The caregivers working with my Dad at home are always on time and very professional. Your attention to the daily details of our situation and quick response time to resolve issues as they have arisen has been outstanding. You have no idea how much stress you have relieved in our ayour service and continued support. I would recommend you to anyone.

    Stephanie

    Thank you for helping us find the right board and care facility for my Dad. He really likes the place and we can tell that he is starting to move out of his depression little by little. I can’t thank you enough for driving us around and helping us find the right place for him - I don’t know how we would have done it without you.
