Suggestions For Handling Expectations As A
Caregiver- Imperial Club

Caregiver

• For people who are expecting to become a
  Caregiver very soon or in the near future, health
  professionals from across the nation have done
  research and studies, and have come up with a few
  suggestions for managing the potential tension
  and struggle of becoming a Caregiver.
• Here is their list of four helpful suggestions
  that health professionals have made to help
  people providing care for their loved ones

3
First Suggestion

• AARP noted that when Caregivers dwell on
  expectations they cant meet for their loved
  ones, it has the potential to fill them with
  negativity. For ex Focus on making the most of
  the time you do spend with your aging family
  member instead of worrying about the days you
  cant be there. Plan fun activities for your
  family members to show you are committed to
  supporting them and that you are looking forward
  to it. Putting energy into these realistic
  expectations will keep you positive as a
  caregiver.

Second Suggestion

• If you as a Caregiver or someone you know is a
  Caregiver and you notice their health is
  negatively impacted by stress of the situation,
  suggest help, a local support group, and have
  resources available to them in the waiting room.
  Asking for help from family or close friends
  first is a good idea first.

Third Suggestion

• As a caregiver, keep your own well-being in mind
  as you support your loved ones. Give yourself
  credit, prioritize and reserve a few hours a week
  to relax and be in a healthy state of mind to
  properly support your loved one.

Fourth Suggestion

• Focus on the big picture so you dont get caught
  up in the daily stresses. Remind yourself of how
  your parents dedicated his or her time to take
  care of you will encourage patience in these
  frustrating moments. Empathize with your
  relatives because one day, this may be you.
  Communicating this to your family members makes
  it easier to accept the limitations of what
  caregivers can do.
