The Importance of a Caregiver

As your loved one ages, elder care can become one of the most stressful, difficult and important decisions you’ve ever had to make. A good caregiver is crucial and contributes greatly to the health, longevity and happiness of the life of your loved one. Caregivers are needed for not only physical care, but also emotional care too.

Finding a caregiver is not easy. Problems arise when trying to find your own caregiver. In May 2011 the Orange County Sheriff’s Department arrested a caregiver for attempting to rape a women in her 80’s. Earlier in 2011, San Diego sheriff found a 93-year-old Pearl Harbor survivor living in rat-infested conditions and immediately arrested his caregiver.

But for every horror caregiving story, there are countless stories about empathetic and loving workers. The kind of people that allow your family member to maintain their independence and allowing them to stay at home even though their mental or physical abilities have declined.
