When caring for an older adult, carving out time for self-care can be difficult. Between worrying for a loved ones’ safety and trying to maintain a work/life balance, caregivers experience high levels of stress and feelings of isolation. This is especially true during COVID-19, so finding time for respite and self-care is more important than ever before. So, each day, try to do something you enjoy. Commit to a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, and a good sleep routine. Victoria Lifeline can also provide your loved one around the clock access to help, which will give any caregiver much needed peace of mind.
