It's difficult enough caring for a sick or disabled elderly relative. It can be a challenge-- physically, emotionally and financially, but what happens when the caregiver is also elderly and dealling with his or her own health issues?
We, here at Comfort Keepers of St. Louis, St Charles and Lincoln County have seen this happen again and again. One spouse taking care of the other until something happens to the caregiving spouse. Sometimes the spouse being cared for outlives his or her caregiving spouse. The stress of caregiving can lead to depression and anxiety as well as a host of other medical problems.
