Advice for Caregivers

• Educate yourself. Carve out time to study the particular disease process or injury, what to expect and how to manage it.
• Plan ahead. When it’s possible — and it often is not — have discussions about what someone who needs a caregiver wants to have done when the time comes. It’s helpful to have those conversations before you ever know you need them. But if you have a diagnosis or an injury or that’s otherwise impossible, those conversations become a do-it-now priority.
• Know what resources are available. That ranges from learning about free county-run programs and community, hospital or even online support groups to looking into what’s out there should you one day need residential care. Even if you think you can go it alone, finding out what’s available could be very helpful later.
• Take care of yourself, because otherwise “it will all come crashing down,”
