November – National family Caregivers Month
“Caregiving Around the Clock” Caregiver Action Network.
Caregiving can be a 24-hours a day/7-days a week job. Caring for a loved one can be non-stop. Providing care around the clock can crowd out other important areas of life and wear a person down physically and emotionally.
Ensuring that you get proper nutrition will help you maintain strength, energy, stamina, and a positive attitude. Nutrition is as important for you as the caregiver as it for your loved one.
Take time for yourself. Make sure you take time to rest and recharge. The chance to take a breather and re-energize is vital in order for you to be as good a caregiver tomorrow as you were today.
During National Family Caregivers Month, we recognize the challenges family caregivers face when their loved ones need Caregiving Around the Clock!
