Thoughts for Today
While caregiving situations differ, studies indicate that adult children, relatives and spouses who take on the responsibility of family caregiver usually find themselves unprepared. Most people lack the information, skills and confidence they need to provide care effectively and efficiently.

Community organizations and government agencies provide various kinds of assistance, from supplying information all the way to in-home care. You'll quickly find that most people are ready and eager to help you. To locate organizations in your area, visit ElderCare.gov or talk to a local senior services agency.

Consider this ...
As a caregiver, you will benefit greatly from learning about what is available and then applying for appropriate kinds of help. Your parents' team of healthcare professionals can also be a tremendous source of assistance-especially in helping you understand what is "normal" and giving you an idea of what to anticipate as time goes on. Keep a running list of questions and take the list with you to medical appointments.

Remember ... don't be embarrassed or feel guilty about asking for help and advice. God's Word says a wise man will listen and learn.
