TIPS FOR
CAREGIVERS
A Place At Home Omaha
With the increased population of seniors in
our society caregivers have become some
of the most significant people in
supporting the lives of seniors.
Seniors often need companionship laundry
services shopping assistance and physical
therapy. While caregivers may be essential to
the well-being of seniors they need to know
the importance of their own well-being.
slide 2: Regardless of the type of care that you provide
you should observe some practices that ensure a
quality life of those you are caring for as well as
your own care. Here are some tips that you should
consider as you carry out your caregiving duties:
Sometimes being a caretaker can
take a toll on you hindering your
ability to perform duties outside
of your workplace. Consider
sharing responsibility with
people around you or an in-home
care agency to avoid
overworking yourself.
Sharing Responsibilities
Self-maintenance
Maintaining yourself is essential
to living a healthy life. You
cannot provide effective care if
you have poor health or fatigue.
For this reason building good
eating and sleeping habits are
absolutely necessary.

Caregiving can sometimes get extremely overwhelming.
Set aside time for yourself whenever possible—do the
things you love or just take some time to relax. It could
be a short nap or a vacation anything that allows you
time to rejuvenate and refresh so that you have the
energy and mental capacity to continue caregiving.
Seek Emotional Support
Caregiving can sometimes be incredibly stressful. This
can take a toll on your mental health making it difficult
to carry out your responsibilities and other tasks.
Support groups can help you deal with stress. These
groups understand the hardships you are going through
and can provide emotional support.
