Did you know that one in four adults in America is a caregiver? Most of them don't think of themselves as one, though. They are juggling careers, families, finances, etc., all while showing up for someone else. Join the Your Point My View podcast panel as we take you through our journey of providing care for a specific group of people - the elderly. Whether it's a parent, grandparent, or loved one who cared for us, stepping into the role of a caregiver is both an act of love and a tremendous responsibility. We will shine a light on that journey, exploring what it really means to care for an aging loved one, and how to care for ourselves in the process.---------------------------------------------------Below are items that can be used to assist the elderly.
