How Caregivers Can Live Their Best Lives
Almost all of us will find ourselves in a caregiving role at some point in our lives. Whether it’s taking care of an aging parent or spouse, being a caregiver can be rewarding, stressful, and everything in between. An expert on aging and caregiving joins us to talk about how caregivers can ensure the best life possible for those they are caring for…and for themselves.
Are you a caregiver? What are some of the biggest challenges that you’ve faced? Is there help, support, or information that you wish you had received? What advice do you have for others in this situation?
