Caring for the Caregiver
The onslaught of Shelter in Place last March necessitated a new focus for how Daybreak might best reach out to cohorts serving as caregivers to their loved ones with dementia. The task and burden of caregiving was heightened by the sense of isolation and limited outside resources.
The physical, emotional and financial burden could be overwhelming, and caregivers often feel very isolated and lonely in their caregiving role.
Caregiving is a very personal journey, and yet, this is a journey that so many of us share! At DayBreak, we understand that you need someone to walk beside you in this journey, and support you while you support your loved one!
