[quote]Caregiving can be an emotional roller coaster. On the one hand, caring for a family member demonstrates love, commitment and can be a very rewarding experience. On the other hand, exhaustion, worry, inadequate resources (money, time, support services in the community), dysfunctional families and seemingly never-ending care demands can leave you feeling overwhelmed and without hope for a reasonably healthy caregiving experience.

Seeing the ‘Invisible Patient’

[quote]The subject was caregiver burden and how physicians ought to be attending to the “invisible patient,” the one supporting an elderly family member with dementia or a heart condition or diabetes — or all of the above. Given that there are currently 43.5 million people providing this kind of support to adults ages 50 and older, and that without them the long-term care system would collapse, you’d think the proposition that somebody ought to be paying attention to them would be a no-brainer.[/quote]

"Hospitals Fail To Protect Nursing Staff From Becoming Patients"
http://www.npr.org/2015/02/04/382639199/hospitals-fail-to-protect-nursing-staff-from-becoming-patients?sc=tw

QuoteIn terms of sheer number of these injuries, BLS data show that nursing assistants are injured more than any other occupation, followed by warehouse workers, truckers, stock clerks and registered nurses.

QuoteMany hospital administrators overlook injuries among the nursing staff partly because they're preoccupied with other priorities. Industry sources told NPR that nursing employees have traditionally ranked low in the hospital industry's hierarchy.

Quotef you are a family member who cares for someone with a disability, whether a child or an adult, combining personal, caregiving, and everyday needs can be challenging. This site has information for family caregivers such as yourself to help you and those you care for stay safe and healthy.
