Smart Patients’ Post

EXPENSES & EFFORT related to Caregiving: Approximately 5-7 million caregivers in the U.S. (about 15% of all caregivers) are long-distance caregivers. Such caregivers are more likely to report emotional distress (47%). Nearly 7 million long-distance caregivers make work and personal sacrifices. Long-distance caregivers have the highest annual expenses (about $8,728) compared to co-resident caregivers (about $5,885) or those who care for a loved one nearby (about $4,570). Parrots definitely will reduce these expenses and alleviate caregiving experiences drastically as a lot of caregiver responsibilities are tactfully handled by it even if the Caregiver is far away with highest level of accuracy of the Patient's actions, health changes.

Working caregivers are unsung heroes who put everyone else's needs before their own. Yet, they often neglect to prioritize their own well-being, which can leave them feeling burnt out. That's why our caregiver employee network has developed a comprehensive resource aimed at empowering caregivers to better prioritize themselves. This resource includes tools and guidance to help #TeamSony members take care of themselves, so they can be more effective, compassionate, and resilient caregivers. Because when you prioritize your own well-being, you're better equipped to provide the best possible care for those you support. #caregiversupport

Every year on July 24th, International Self Care Day promotes self-care as a vital foundation of health. It’s also a day for people around the world to prioritize self-care and make it a part of their lifestyle. When you take care of yourself to stay well, you are practicing self-care. Staying well includes taking care of your whole self: physically, mentally, and emotionally. For some, self-care also includes taking care of themselves spiritually. So what exactly does self-care look like? It could be as simple as having some quiet time each day or having coffee with a friend. Self-care is especially important for caregivers. It’s easy for a caregiver to pour all of their time and energy into another person. Doing so eventually takes its toll. As the saying goes, “You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first.” https://lnkd.in/g9pKK6B2 #DenverMetro #DenverSeniorCare #COElderCare #COSeniorCare #DenverElderCare #SeniorCareAuthority #BeyondDrivingWithDignity #SeniorCareAdvocate #SeniorCare #ElderCare #SeniorAdvocate #AssistedLiving #SeniorLiving #Seniors #MemoryCare #Hospice #HospiceCare Senior Care Authority - Denver Metro
