This is the first week after the holidays. Are you feeling more refreshed? More relaxed? Are you prepared for the new year as a caregiver? Family members have come to visit and perhaps shared with some of the day-to-day responsibilities. Friends have brought presents and shared memories of the past. What is your next move as the caregiver? Did you have enough down time? Have you sought out assistance in your caregiving role? Are you determined to make this year better for you and for your loved one with your caregiving tasks? Resources, assistance and support are available. Make others aware that you are open and available. Remember, caregivers need care too.
