With advancing age, you or your loved one may have started to experience difficulty performing daily activities – bathing, getting out of the bathtub, and dressing may have become challenging. Although there may be no obvious physical impairment, the body may have become stiffer and more rigid, fragile and less resilient.

There may be problems with balance, hearing, sight or smell. Age-related health conditions, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis or osteoporosis could have set in, and remembering to take medication may have become a task.

Forgetfulness, confusion or dementia could also hinder the ability to function independently safely. The loss of a spouse, loneliness and emotional problems such as depression could also affect safety and well-being.

Often, this is when family members take responsibility for the care of their ageing parents, in the role of primary caregivers. However, this can be overwhelming. Being a caregiver to an ailing, convalescing or disabled elderly person can range from being a tough job to an impossible level of attention to sustain over an extended period of time.

Even more so when the person is suffering from progressive, degenerative or chronic conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, heart failure – and the emphasis is primarily on providing care and comfort.

Caregiver burnout is a very real problem. Despite all the commitment and dedication, it’s a taxing job which can take its toll on you – physically, mentally and emotionally. That’s why we are here to help. To lend a hand, give you some respite or totally take over – so you can be assured that your loved one is getting the best possible care.
