Many Boomers may soon find themselves in a caregiver position. If this is you, don’t let the added stress of caring for a loved one take over. Lean on others for help because caregiver burnout is a serious issue and often goes unnoticed. Caregivers want to give 110% of themselves day in and day out but you have to remember you’ll be in a much better position to care for your mom or dad if you take a break from time to time. Medical adult day cares such as Active Day http://www.activeday.com offer a safe and secure environment for your loved one and respite for you, five days a week, eight hours a day. Adult day cares are much more cost effective than nursing homes or assisted living facilities, plus they offer health care supervision, socialization, community outings, therapeutic programming, meals and transportation.
