Doing it all for someone you love can be beautiful and fulfilling, and also draining and guilt-inducing. Comfort Keepers® collaborated with Stanford and the home care services software company ClearCare to survey 2,000 adults who had hired a Comfort Keepers caregiver to help an ailing relative. The survey found that family caregivers caring for a severely ill loved one often experienced social isolation and negative impacts to their emotional wellbeing. The study reveals what all too many caregivers know, yet fail to do – they need to care for themselves too. It’s only when they take care of themselves that they can take good care of their loved one. Sometimes, that means asking for help from other family members. It can also mean turning to home care services, like those available from Comfort Keepers, for a helping hand.
