For generations, family members have taken care of their own when a relative reaches their senior years or becomes sick or disabled. While providing care for elderly family members is an admirable thing to do, it is extremely demanding and could have detrimental effects on the personal lives of the family caregivers.
It is common for family caregivers to ignore important personal matters and suffer from high stress levels and lack of sleep which can lead to negative health effects. Family caregivers typically prioritize the care that they provide for their relatives over their own lives, and many feel guilty taking time off to handle their personal matters.
However, family caregivers need to be able to take a break and tend to their own personal lives. Assisting Hands Home Care provides respite care services in Naperville, IL to give family caregivers a much-needed break.
Short and Long Term Respite Care for Seniors and Adults with Special Needs
With our senior respite care services, we can work out a care schedule for your loved ones that allows the family caregiver to take some time off. It is very important for family caregivers to find some time away to tend to their personal lives; and these statistics show why:
- Over 65 million Americans provide care for a relative.
- Two-thirds of these caregivers are women.
- Around 25% of caregivers suffer from various health problems, including depression.
The health problems commonly experienced by family caregivers are caused by demanding schedules and high stress. It is very difficult for a family caregiver to always be available for their relative and balance this availability with their career and family life. Lack of sleep and high stress makes people more likely to experience detrimental health effects or depression. It is sometimes impossible for a family caregiver to handle everything themselves.
