Listen "DRwJL – Caring for bed bound people – the challenges are immense"
Episode Synopsis
September 13, 2022
Trying to care for someone in their last weeks, months is hard. Not just hard but emotionally taxing. We never understand the amount of work, the scope of care, the diligence that it takes to turn someone, so they don’t get pressure sores. Late stage is difficult. It is not about thinking family caregivers aren’t up for the task, but more about, are you underestimating the amount of work it will take? I am going to lay out what is ahead if you are on this path.
