Local Business Spotlight
As a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) I have the opportunity to meet many great professionals in the community. Awhile back, I met Amanda Varga at a networking event and saw her this past December at a holiday cookie event. She owns and operates CareTreks, LLC which is a wonderful resource for those who may have aging parents.
** This caregiving thing is hard! ** I’m not sure I can do this anymore ** I feel like I’m losing my mind! **
As a Family Caregiver, there can be guilt associated with just thinking these phrases and even more so if they are spoken out loud. Most of us took on this responsibility out of love or sense of doing what we felt was right. However, just because you went into something willingly doesn’t mean there aren’t moments – or long stretches - of doubt and frustration. It is understandable to feel overwhelmed and important to know when to ask for help.
CareTreks, LLC was started out of a desire to help the Family Caregivers of aging loved ones gain the skills, knowledge and resources they need to be more competent and confident Caregivers. This involves not only focusing on what is in the best interest of the Care Recipient but also what is realistic for Family Caregivers to expect of themselves.
