We know you're focused on the health and well-being of others, but it's
important to remember to take care of you. Caring for yourself isn't selfish,
it's an essential part of making sure you can give your best every day.
Tips for staying strong as a caregiver
Stay healthy with proper
nutrition
Eating healthy is the best way to maintain
your strength, energy, stamina, and
immune system. It's also one of the most
powerful things you can do to stay
positive.
Good nutrition for your
care receiver helps make
care easier
Up to half of all older adults are at
risk for malnutrition, that's why it's
important to make sure those you
care for have a healthy diet. It helps
prevent muscle loss, supports
recovery, reduces risk for re-
hospitalizations, and makes
caregiving easier.
Rest. Recharge. Respite.
Make sure to take some time away
to re-energize or ask for help.
Caregiving can be stressful, and
taking a breather ensures that you'll
be ready to take on the challenges
ahead.
YOUR CARE MATTERS
We're here for you - so you can be
there for them
As one of over 90 million caregivers* in the United States, you know that
caregiving can be a rewarding experience. But it can also be physically and
emotionally demanding. If you're caring for a family member, such as parent who is
older or recovering from an illness or injury, you don't have to go it alone. We are
here to help.
