Diminishing caregiver burnout.

Caring for you, by caring for them = caregiver respite

Caregiver burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion that may be accompanied by a change in attitude -- from positive and caring to negative. Burnout can occur when caregivers don't get the help they need. Caregivers who are "burned out" may experience fatigue, stress, anxiety, and depression. Many caregivers also feel guilty if they spend time on themselves rather than on their ill or elderly loved ones.

We understand that asking for help can sometimes be a difficult decision, but you can feel comfortable in your choice of sending your loved one to Our Harmony Club. Family caregiver's need to care for themselves by taking time for themselves...we can help make this possible.
