Our Caregiver Agency in Southwest Colorado: Find Balance and Reduce Stress

It's easy to become a family caregiver without even realizing it. It may be that you were providing occasional help to an aging loved one, only to have their needs increase over time. It may be that an emergency occurs and you're suddenly assisting them around-the-clock. Our caregiver agency, Visiting Angels® Southwest Colorado, assists many family caregivers who find themselves in this situation. 

Finding Balance With Our Caregiver Agency in Southwest Colorado

Providing regular care to a loved one is an enormous act of generosity, but it's vital to make sure you are creating balance and support in your life as well. Your health and well-being matter, too. Caregiver burnout is unfortunately very common with family caregivers, especially when you're contending with a job, relationships, other family, and the various challenges of daily living. We recommend a few measures: 

  • Making sure people know. The role of a family caregiver can be very isolating, and it's easy to forget to tell others what's happening. Let your job, your friends, and other family know, so they can be there for you. 
  • Giving yourself time off. It's important not to feel guilty for taking time away from your family member to relax. Caregiving can be very draining, and you need ways to replenish your energy to avoid burn out.
  • Finding supportive care. It's easy to feel like this is a job you have to shoulder on your own, but that is not true. Our caregiver agency in Southwest Colorado offers options to assist family caregivers with their tasks.
