Family caregivers may feel taxed by caregiving on some days and stressed by work on others. Remember, however, that both caregiving and working offer plenty of rewards.<\/p>\n<p>Caring for an aging loved one is common. In fact, about 6 out of 10 family caregivers of adults over 50 also work either fulltime or part-time. By 2025, approximately half of America\u2019s workforce will be providing caregiving services to an older family member, like a parent.<\/p>\n<p>Family members on the cusp of caring for an elderly parent should understand the responsibilities involved. Adult children may need to schedule doctor\u2019s appointments, prepare meals and provide assistance with the activities of daily living (ADLs), like bathing and grooming.<\/p>\n<p>Be aware that caregiving may occur in incremental steps as Mom or Dad slows down. Family members may start with managing finances. As the parent\u2019s physical or cognitive abilities decline, additional support at home will be needed, such as maintaining the home and providing transportation.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, family caregivers may find themselves plunging into caregiving duties if an elderly parent suddenly falls and fractures a hip or suffers a stroke. Caregiving might decrease, however, once the injured parent recovers from the fracture or stroke.<\/p>\n<h2>Discuss Care Options<\/h2>\n<p>Working caregivers should be prepared for both scenarios. An important initial step is to start discussions with aging parents as soon as possible to determine their wishes in the event they become sick or otherwise incapacitated. Understanding their desires serves as a guide to future care.<\/p>\n<h2>Get Organized<\/h2>\n<p>Daily routines will require organization once caregiving responsibilities start. Working full or part-time leaves little time to plan caregiving tasks. Allot available time to create an online calendar of doctor\u2019s appointments and the senior\u2019s activities. Share the calendar with family members who can help.<\/p>\n<h2>Locate Support<\/h2>\n<p>Caregiving while working is rarely done well without outside support. A local agency on aging can provide community resources to help navigate the various, demanding aspects of caregiving. Browse the website of the <a href=\"https:\/\/eldercare.acl.gov\/Public\/index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eldercare Locator<\/a> as a starting point.<\/p>\n<h2>Utilize Flexible Scheduling<\/h2>\n<p>Also browse the employee handbook for policies in regard to caregiving. A workplace might offer flexible work options and family leave opportunities that may be useful. <a href=\"https:\/\/eap.partners.org\/caregiving-family\/eldercare\/\">Employee assistance programs<\/a> are also offered by some corporations, so be sure to see if these resources are available.<\/p>\n<p>If flexible scheduling is not already available to employees, ask a supervisor if it may be an option. Caregiving is not strictly an after-work duty. In fact, the majority of caregivers find themselves adjusting work hours, asking for time off or taking extended leaves of absences.<\/p>\n<p>Remote work may also be a practical option, depending on the type of work in which the caregiver is involved. Telecommuting a few days per week allows the employed caregiver the opportunity to be at home to supervise an aging parent while accomplishing the day\u2019s work-related tasks.<\/p>\n<h2>Stay Focused<\/h2>\n<p>While on the job, focus on work rather than caregiving. When it is necessary to research a parent\u2019s ailment, do so after work hours. Schedule doctor\u2019s appointments and therapies during lunch. As an employed caregiver, it is important to keep caregiving and work life separate.<\/p>\n<h2>Prepare a Backup Plan<\/h2>\n<p>Health crises happen; and when Mom or Dad suddenly falls ill, the family caregiver will need to provide direct support. Have a backup plan beforehand. Arrange for colleagues to step in when a caregiving emergency requires immediate assistance and leaving work in a hurry is crucial.<\/p>\n<h2>Inform the Employer<\/h2>\n<p>Rather than wait for a caregiving emergency to notify an employer, family caregivers are encouraged to let a boss know early on about the extra responsibilities at home. Initiate a formal discussion with either human resources or a supervisor. A sit-down talk allows both parties to be focused.<\/p>\n<p>While having the conversation about caregiving responsibilities at home, consider it an opportune time to talk about schedule accommodations. If telecommuting or schedule changes are in the foreseeable future, the transitions will take time to establish. Also let a boss know that work is still a priority.<\/p>\n<h2>Take Advantage of FMLA<\/h2>\n<p>Employed caregivers also have laws on their side. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/general\/topic\/benefits-leave\/fmla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)<\/a> allows employees to take 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year while retaining job security. Certain qualifications have to be met in order to be eligible for FMLA.<\/p>\n<p>Employees must have worked in the company for at least 12 months before taking advantage of FMLA. Eligible personnel must also work in a company with at least 50 employees, in a government agency or in an elementary school. Some states allow coverage for staff who work at smaller companies.<\/p>\n<p>An employer might require the caregiver to use vacation time prior to using FMLA. Plus, the caregiver does not have to use up all the FMLA time at once. Taking smaller chunks of FMLA is beneficial when helping a parent with a short-term illness.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8052 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/assistinghands.com\/34\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2020\/08\/Home-Care-Services-West-Palm-Beach-Illinois-1024x553.jpg\" alt=\"Home Care Services West Palm Beach Illinois\" width=\"1024\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/34\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2020\/08\/Home-Care-Services-West-Palm-Beach-Illinois-1024x553.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/34\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2020\/08\/Home-Care-Services-West-Palm-Beach-Illinois-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/34\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2020\/08\/Home-Care-Services-West-Palm-Beach-Illinois-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/34\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2020\/08\/Home-Care-Services-West-Palm-Beach-Illinois-600x324.jpg 600w, https:\/\/assistinghands.com\/34\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2020\/08\/Home-Care-Services-West-Palm-Beach-Illinois.jpg 1518w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Employed caregivers seem to be needed at two places at once.
