November has been National Family Caregivers Month since the 1990s. Of course, family caregiving itself is a year-round job. And often a job full of challenges:
- Balancing caregiver hours and paid-work hours
- Dealing with unexpected emergencies
- Managing stress
- Making time for self-care (without feeling guilty about “deserting” your loved one)
Whatever your concerns, there’s an app to help. Our BridgingApps Caregiver Apps list has suggestions for:
- Keeping medical records organized
- Simplifying chores
- Learning meditation and stress management
- Staying in touch with your care team
- And more!
Know that we appreciate your hard work and dedication!
P.S. In some cases, you also have the option of getting paid for family-caregiver work. Check our new “Consumer Directed Services” page for more information.
