Companion Care in Sarasota: How We Help Manage Caregiver Stress

It is estimated that among the 65 million Americans who are the primary caregiver for a loved one, the average caregiver spends around 20 hours per week caring for their family member. The occasional helping hand can quickly turn into a part-time or even full-time job when you are tasked with caring for an elderly or disabled loved one. If you are among the family caregivers who are juggling paid employment, family, and social obligations along with caring for a loved one, you can easily end up feeling exhausted and stressed. Visiting Angels® Sarasota FL can provide a companion care referral to give you a necessary break and help you avoid caregiver burnout.

Tips to Help Sarasota Caregivers Avoid Burnout

It is easy to find yourself so focused on your loved one that you forget to take care of yourself. It is not uncommon for caregivers to end up skipping meals or getting less sleep while caring for a loved one. It is important for your well-being, and your loved one, that you take good care of yourself.

As a knowledgeable provider of companion care, Visiting Angels Sarasota recommends the following to help you avoid burnout:

  • Practice relaxation. Try deep breathing, meditation, yoga, going for walks, journaling, or massages to help you clear your mind and reset.
  • Find a support group. There may be groups in your area where people in your situation can go to find support and camaraderie. 
  • Take care of your physical needs. Eat healthy meals, get plenty of rest, and exercise regularly to help avoid exhaustion.
  • Take time for yourself. Be sure to do things you enjoy such as going to a movie or show, get a haircut, or have dinner with friends.
  • Don't be afraid to ask for help. Giving others a chance to help also gives you a break and can also be beneficial for your loved one.
