Caring for Yourself

Did you know that 1 in 4 caregivers describes their situation as “highly stressful”? Caring for an older adult as they navigate their aging journey can be all-consuming, especially in the face of other life responsibilities. But in order to take care of others, it’s also important to take care of yourself.
