If you are a caregiver it is essential to get support for yourself. Too often caregivers try to do it all on their own and end up with caregiver burnout. This can lead to exhaustion, medication errors, health issues and compassion fatigue. With compassion fatigue a caregiver can become impatient and irritable. This is not good for your loved one or for you. Having someone fill in for you and give some much needed respite as well as peer support can be extremely useful in these situations.
