While caring for an older family member — whether it be a spouse, parent or grandparent — can be a rewarding experience, it can also be a difficult and overwhelming task. This is especially true if your loved one lives with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia-related illness. In addition to maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle outside of caregiving responsibilities, it is important for those caring for a loved one to learn ways to avoid health hazards and stay well-informed of any changes in their loved one’s condition. Add work and children to care for to the equation, and it’s a formula that can lead to stress, exhaustion and even potential health issues. Know the signs of burnout. By the time many caregivers suspect signs of burnout, they’re likely already suffering symptoms related to their responsibilities. Being aware of some of the warning signs can help caregivers properly manage stress and protect themselves. Warning signs include: • An overwhelming fatigue or lack of energy. • Experiencing sleep issues. • Significant changes in eating habits or weight. ON THE • Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed. • Neglecting personal physical and emotional needs. • Becoming unusually impatient, irritable or argumentative. • Having anxiety about the future or feelings of hopelessness. • Suffering from headaches, stomachaches or other physical ailments. • Experiencing depression or mood swings. • Having difficulty coping with everyday tasks. • Having a lower resistance to illnesses. Educate yourself about the disease. It’s likely the loved one you care for has several health problems, takes multiple medications and sees multiple health care providers to manage his or her conditions. As a first step in learning more about Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related illnesses, visit alzfdn.org or nia.nih.gov/alzheimers. Support groups, Winter Park Medical Directory x August 23, 2018 x 15 SUBJECT OF... Preventing Caregiver Burnout educational workshops, community resources and professionals can also help increase your understanding of the disease and what to expect, so you can be a better-informed and prepared caregiver. • Be prepared for important decisions. Take care of financial, legal and long-term care planning issues early on to help reduce stress later. Try to involve the individual in decision-making if he or she is capable, and consider personal wishes regarding future care and end-of-life issues. • Build your care skills. Key skills for any caregiver include communication, understanding safety considerations and behaviors, and managing activities of daily living such as bathing, toileting and dressing. Some organizations and local hospitals may even offer classes specific to your loved one’s disease that can aid you in the process. • Develop empathy. Try to understand what it is like to be a person living with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Put yourself in the affected person’s shoes while also recognizing your own losses. Manage your expectations of your loved one and remain patient. • Ask for help when you need it. Reach out to medical and mental health professionals, as well as family and friends. They can assist you when things get tough. In addition, there are typically programs, agencies and organizations in your community that can help manage the challenges of caring for older parents, grandparents, spouses and other older adults. • Advocate for and connect with your loved one. Take an active role in the individual’s medical care. Get to know the care team, ask questions, express concerns and discuss treatment options. Also remember to connect on a personal level through kindness, humor and creativity, which are essential parts of caregiving and can help reduce stress. • Think positively. Focus on the capabilities and strengths that are still intact and enjoy your relationship with your loved one while you are still together. Look for ways to include him or her in your daily routines and gatherings to make as many memories as possible. Find more caregiver resources and tips at alzfdn.org.nd.
