When a care partner does not attend to their own needs or take time off from the caregiving role, they may find themselves experiencing caregiver burnout. Burnout is a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion. Today for National Caregivers Month, #Take6ForPD and learn the signs of caregiver burnout. If you start to notice these signs in a care partner in your life, initiate a conversation with them and point them to resources that can help. Two of these resources are Parkinson.org/Carepartners and our free Helpline: 1-800-4PD-INFO (473-4636) | Helpline@Parkinson.org

👉🏼 According to the Cleveland Clinic Burnout feels like a candle that ran out of a wick — it doesn’t have what it needs to continue to provide light. It can occur when you don't get the help you need personally, as you devote all of your time and energy to helping someone else. It can also happen when you try to do more than you’re able to, emotionally, physically or financially. Your health and well-being matter just as much as the person you’re caring for. It’s important to know the signs and symptoms of caregiver burnout so you can get the help you need when you need it most. 👈🏼 #QualityofLifeHomeCarellc #HomeCare #getpaidtotakecareofloveones #philadelphiahomecare #CaregiverBurnout #CaringForTheCaregiver #BurnoutAwareness #SelfCareForCaregivers #CaregiverWellness #CompassionFatigue

Our expert will discuss signs and symptoms to look for, as well as developing a robust plan that is more than self-care.

One common mistake families make when transitioning a loved one to assisted living is assuming they can persuade them to feel a certain way about the move. Heart-Centered Tip: Prepare yourself for emotions such as anger, resentment, fear, or sadness. Their emotions are valid and a natural response to significant life changes, especially when dementia is involved. Be aware that your loved one’s emotions can trigger your own stress responses, causing you to react impulsively, defensively, or too forcefully...and while it might feel good in the moment to express your frustrations, this almost ways leads to negative outcomes, including jeopardizing the success of the move. With practice, you can support your loved one through any emotion, making the transition smoother and less intense.
