For caregivers, every day can be a challenge. Long hours and days can sometimes lead to a burnout. We strongly believe that compassionate care is a key component when caring for your loved one and an attribute that can lift the heavy burden associated with caregiving.
A few ways to avoid exhaustion and stay compassionate are:
- Take time for yourself by reading, gardening, or watching TV
- Know your limits
- Stick to a routine
- Get enough sleep
- Let animals or pets assist
- Eat healthy
- Listen to music
- Ask for help
