Handling Respite Care with Family
Ongoing care in any situation can feel very stressful. It’s natural – after all, caregiving is a lot to handle. And if feelings of disproportionate responsibility arise, it’s good to have tools for navigating them.
You can engage family members in respite care by:
Trying different strategies. If you split duties, have honest discussions about limitations and strengths. Don’t be afraid to encourage different viewpoints on how to best care for your loved one.
Using technology to your advantage. Video chats are a great way to communicate updates and offer support from anywhere.
Joining support groups. You’ll meet other primary caregivers and potentially learn new ways to approach caring for your loved one.
