Cleo

To paraphrase Jason Resendez of the National Alliance for Caregiving, let's bring the joy back into caregiving. Today our Cleo Guides share some thoughts on maintaining positivity through your caregiving journey. This #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, Cleo is sharing key insights from our in-house experts on all things #caregiving -- the highs and lows, the big and small questions, and the day-to-day of caring for your loved ones. We hope these insights resonate and help remind our caregivers as to why they do what they do in the first place 💜

According to the CDC, more than half (57%) of family caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s and related dementias provide care for four years or more. It's so important as a caregiver to know how you can care for your loved one with dementia and materially improve their quality of life, which in turn may improve your quality of life. This #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, take a look at the advice our Cleo Guides shared for those caring for someone with dementia:

Mobility for the aging population is a huge part of staying healthy -- more than many of us may think. Caregivers can do their part by encouraging their loved ones to stay active, checking on various elements of their health, and by helping to engage a specialist if needed. For #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, we'll be sharing our expertise on all things #caregiving. Stay tuned for more eldercare advice tomorrow.

A big step many family caregivers take, if they are able, is inviting their aging parents to move in with them. Oftentimes this is a practical decision and one made out of concern for safety, but it's important to keep a few questions in mind as you approach this big move. For #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, we'll be sharing our expertise on all things #caregiving. Our Cleo Guides, Cleo's in-house experts on everything related to caregiving, share some things to think about before having the move-in conversation.

How can future (and current) family caregivers plan for their loved ones' futures? For #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, we'll be sharing our expertise on all things #caregiving. Here are some words of wisdom from our Cleo Guides on how to start these emotional and essential conversations. Stay tuned for more in this series from Cleo throughout the month. 💜

"Without this essential caregiving, society would struggle to function,” said Ellen Reinhart, PhD, a postdoctoral scholar at Michigan State University and lead author of a new study by the American Psychological Association. “As the U.S. population ages, the 20% of Americans caring for an adult, most often a relative, will only increase in the coming years. To meet the growing demand for caregiving, we must value this vital labor,” Reinhart said. “We need to do more to recognize the personal and societal importance of helping people close to home in our everyday circles and investing in these local relationships. Caregiving, perhaps especially when unpaid and with little choice involved, is still a significant contribution.”
