In my job here at Comfort Keepers Senior and Elderly Care I have seen families under a lot of stress trying to care for a loved one. Many times they don't get outside help until the situation becomes detrimental for both the family caregiver and the loved one they are caring for. Caregiving puts a lot of stress both mentally and physically on the caregiver and can lead to them becoming ill also. It can also to lead to making mistakes in the care of the loved one and even to neglect or abuse. Hiring outside help, such as we provide at Comfort Keepers here in Troy, MO, can help and allows the family caregiver to spend quality time with the loved one. Here is an article I found about preventing caregiver burnout.
