The Realities of Caregiver Stress

 Filed Under: Be Well MD Articles

The Realities of Caregiver Stress  - Be Well MD Senior Care Austin TX

Caring for an aging loved one can be a challenging and stressful endeavor. As a physician and geriatrician, I commonly encounter families where the adult child is dealing with more issues than the parent because of the stress associated with caregiving. In the world of geriatric medicine, aging experts are trained to identify and help manage this common scenario.

Here’s just one article of many that points out the significance of this caregiver stress.

However, there is a silver lining to the story. A recent study, Caregiving reduces mortality risk for most caregivers: a census-based record linkage study by Dermot O’Reilly, et al., discovered that this important work gives caregivers an added purpose in life. It is hypothesized that this feeling of value appears to overcome most, if not all of the negative effects of the stress.

Be Well MD is incorporating an Aging at Home technology that will help seniors and the family, friends and caregivers that serve them interact and manage aging in a less-stressful manner. The level of service can be adjusted based on the degree of need. Give me a call at 512-553-1921 or send me a note to learn more about this cutting-edge technology that supports seniors to age in the way they desire.
