Protecting Your Well-being as a caregiver

We explore the financial challenges caregivers face and the risks
to their own health. Dr. Greenhut outlines the importance of
distinguishing between a "what to do" list and a "have to" list,
urging caregivers to establish priorities and seek outside
assistance when needed.

Furthermore, we discuss the significance of knowing available
resources, such as geriatric social workers, caregiver advocates,
and geriatric nurse managers, who can provide invaluable support
and guidance in planning and accessing local resources. Dr.
Greenhut shares a sobering statistic: 63 percent of 70-year-old
caregivers die before their loved ones. Drawing from her own
caregiving experiences with her parents and others, she offers
practical insights and advice.
