Caring for one’s parents will be one of the most meaningful and stressful times of your life. Reach out!!! Ask for help from relatives, friends and build a support team for yourself. Look for Caregiver support groups. Family Caregiver Alliance (caregiver.org) is a good on-line resource for caregivers. Hospitals often have resources for caregivers. Some companies have an Employee Assistance programs will have consultants that can help you. Look for senior centers, senior organizations, and senior services in your area, they are increasing as more and more people like you are caring and need help for their parents.
