What Are Some of the Biggest Issues that Caregivers Face?

July 24, 2017 By Stephanie Miller

Caregivers in Portland

Family caregivers take a lot of challenges onto their own shoulders. Some of the bigger issues that they face can even make being a caregiver extremely difficult.

Exhaustion

Caregivers in Portland: Give the Family Caregiver Some Rest.

Being a family caregiver is a full time job and often you don’t have anyone who can back you up. If that describes you, it’s time for you to look for another way to go about this caregiving journey. You need to be able to get the rest that you need, when you need it. For some caregivers, that means finding other family members who can fill in while for others that means having regular respite care in some form or another.

Lack of Resources

One of the hallmarks of being a family caregiver is that you often feel as if you have to do the impossible with very few resources. In some cases, you may have no resources at all. The first step is to talk to your loved one’s doctor to determine what resources he can point you toward. From there, branch out to all of the senior organizations in your area. There are more resources that can help you than you might realize.

Chronic Illnesses

Very few family caregivers are perfectly healthy themselves. If you have a chronic illness of your own, you know how difficult it can be to keep up with your own health as well as someone else’s. Make sure that you’re keeping up with your doctor’s appointments and whatever else you need to manage to keep your chronic health problems under better control.

Stress and Worry

It’s impossible not to worry about your elderly loved one. This is someone that you love and care about and her health and well-being is in your hands. This kind of stress can take a toll on you, however. Finding ways to reduce your stress and manage your worries is essential if you’re going to continue to be your loved one’s caregiver.

Dealing with some of these issues takes more than simply acknowledging them. Doing so can at least get you started on the path of finding a solution that helps you learn to manage the situation in the best way possible.

If you or an aging loved-one are considering hiring in-home caregivers in Portland to give family some respite, please contact the caring staff at Integrity In-Home Care. Call today (503) 660-3755

    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.
