Personal Care Services in Grants, NM: Assisting Family Caregivers

While typical sandwich generation caregivers are women in their mid-forties, increasing numbers of men are taking up caregiving responsibilities. Sandwich generation caregivers have their work cut out for them as they attempt to balance busy careers with caregiving responsibilities and personal time for themselves. Without proper management and assistance, many could succumb to stress, burnout, depression, and feelings of guilt.

Family caregivers should not hesitate to ask for assistance by contacting resources like the local Area Agency on Aging, churches, hospital social workers, and companies that provide personal care services in Grants, NM. Primary family caregivers should also hold family meetings to distribute caregiving responsibilities among other family members. Just as importantly, family caregivers need to carve out personal time in their busy schedules to rest and attend to their own needs. This way, they can prevent burnout and maintain the quality of their own lives.

Tapping Home Healthcare in Albuquerque to Prepare for the Transition


"The package includes established medical equipment, nursing assistants, and 24/7 doctor house calls. However, some professionals recommend introduction to hospice care as early as possible to help the patient accept the idea that their time is not far away… and to ease them into that final stage. The moment your loved one passes on can be painful for you and your family, as was the Meyers experience when the coach died a few days after the hospice care began. Experts at Ambercare who offer home care from Albuquerque, however, will be there to support your family and take care of your loved one until the last moment."
