People we care about may need greater help with basic chores and activities as they become older. Caring for a loved one may quickly become stressful and draining, even while many family members are happy to pitch in. This becomes more evident when their health deteriorates and demands an increasing amount of care and attention. You may find it difficult to concentrate on other parts of your life, including your family and job if you're a family caregiver. This may lead to burnout.
