Are you thinking about being the caregiver for your loved one?
It’s a lot of responsibility that can take a mental toll on you. Being prepared for the potential changes of caregiving means asking yourself these important questions:
- Am I financially prepared for the extra costs of caregiving?
- Am I really capable of taking care of Dad or Mom all by myself? Do I need to hire home care or consider assisted living?
- Do I have the social support and resources I’m going to need?
- How will caregiving affect my physical and mental health?
- If my parent has dementia and can no longer filter their behavior, will I be able to cope with potentially hurtful words or actions?
- Will I be able to allow myself to accept help and take breaks?
- Will I be able to cut back on work responsibilities during those times when I need to care for my parent?
- Will I be able to make time for myself and my family?
