Caregiver Support
Are you struggling to care for one or both of your elderly parents?
Are you exhausted by the demands of your own life and the demands of caring for an elderly parent?
Do you find yourself feeling resentment, frustration, and other difficult emotions while caring for an elderly parent?
Overwhelmed by the number of decisions that have to be made about your parent's care such as assisted living, estate planning, in home help, nursing facilities, health care options, etc?
I can help you. I offer compassionate support and personalized services to those caring for an elderly parent. Let me help you identify and reaffirm your self care needs, create a solid self care plan, and provide you with useful resources and friendly support while you navigate through this challenging life transition. The population of older adults is growing rapidly. Chances are that most of us at some point in our lives will have to provide some type of care giving for an aging parent. I understand the emotional pain, physical exhaustion, and mental fatigue you feel every day as you face yet another caregiver dilemma or decision that must be made. You don't have to do this alone and you don't have to put your needs "on the back burner".
Services include:
- Specialized confidential counseling for emotional and mental issues that arise when meeting the needs of an aging parent while maintaining your own life. It does not matter if you are directly caring for your parent, overseeing their professional care, or are one of the siblings involved in care giving responsibilities. I can help you move through difficult emotions, time management challenges, and self care needs that arise during this life transition.
- Self care evaluation to determine your needs and goals.
- Self care planning that is useful and solution focused.
- Compassionate support while navigating this important life transition.
- Resources, information, referrals for senior services.
- Holistic health and lifestyle investigations to help you address wellness needs.
- Flower essence consultations to assist you energetically.
I know you're busy meeting everyone else's needs with little time for yourself. Care giving is stressful and the capacity for burnout is high. Compassionate self care is essential and the first step begins with putting your self care needs first so you can better help those you love. I can help you do this.
