10 Tips for Family Caregivers
from the National Family Caregivers Association
Choose to take charge of your life, and don’t let
1   your loved one’s illness or disability always take
    center stage.
Remember to be good to yourself. Love, honor
2   and value yourself. You’re doing a very hard job
    and you deserve some quality time, just for you.
Watch out for signs of depression, and don’t
3   delay in getting professional help when you
    need it.
When people offer to help, accept the offer and
4   suggest specific things that they can do.
Educate yourself about your loved one’s
5   condition. Information is empowering.
There’s a difference between caring and doing.
6   Be open to technologies and ideas that promote
    your loved one’s independence.
Trust your instincts. Most of the time they’ll lead
7   you in the right direction.
Grieve for your losses, and then allow yourself
8   to dream new dreams.
Stand up for your rights as a caregiver and a
9   citizen.
Seek support from other caregivers. There is
10   great strength in knowing you are not alone.
