Family Caregivers: Who are they? Why Should We Care about them? | Jasneet Parmar | TEDxUAlberta

[IAMTPardy]

the year 2020 was exceptionally hard on family members caring for someone either at home or in a care facility at any level showing the great need to Health Care workers for having family members come into the building to support the care receiver. How grateful I have been for access to my Mother at least sometimes, and for the ladies in her Home who go above and beyond for her. My brother living in a group home as well has been fortunate to have a few good people looking out for his wellbeing when I am too far away to have hands on in his care. They are my eyes and hands.

👏👏👏thank you for recognizing the stress on us as caregivers 😢.
The rollercoaster ride that I’m on with my 86 yr old dad who has 3 types of dementia, also now treating 2 surgery sites for skin cancer with a 3 rd to come in April, plus having a disabled husband who helps me a little when I have to go grocery shopping or to my dr appointments, is proving to be a real emotional drain.😢
But my goal is to keep him here in his home with his little dog companion until I just can’t handle him mentally or physically myself 😏❤️

What makes a family??
I don't think you need to add care giver with the word 'family '
