Memory CornerA Support Guide for Caregivers

By Ava M. Stinnett

Whether it happens gradually or overnight, there’s a distinct possibility that one day youwill become a caregiver for a loved one. It may be for a parent, a spouse, or even one ofyour children. According to the National Alliance for Caregiving, there are over 65 millionunpaid caregivers of adults aged 65 and older in the United States. Often, there's verylittle preparation for the daily challenges that caregivers face.

There are numerous city and state education programs and services to address theneeds of those who provide long-term care for loved ones at home. You’ll also find manywonderful books that address the topic of caregiving. But what about those times whenyou need to talk to someone who is traveling a parallel journey, another caregiver whocan offer not just a sympathetic ear, but a possible solution to a challenge? A supportgroup may be the perfect solution.•Carlton Senior Living offers a Dementia SupportGroup at each of our communities that offer Memory Care. The support group isdesigned to facilitate discussion about each persons personal journey with dementia,while providing valuable information about the disease progression.

Perhaps what is most helpful in these communities is an open forum for the types ofquestions, comments, and emotional support that one may not find in a best-sellingbook. For example, practical questions, such as how to manage doctor’s appointments,insurance paperwork, and how to take time off work are addressed. But there are alsovery poignant and soul-searching topics, such as:

· “I miss my mom, even though she’s sitting next to me.”· “How do I tell my husband that I’ve decided to have someone come in for a few

hours a day while I'm at work? I’m exhausted and could really use some help but Idon’t want to upset him.”

· “My mom is receiving birthday cards from friends who may not be aware of herAlzheimer’s diagnosis. Should I let them know and if so, how?”

· “My dad seems lonely and fearful and follows me from room to room. I’ve assuredhim that he’s safe and that I’ll always be here. How do I deal with the resentmentthat’s building because other family members aren’t here to help out?”

Sometimes, just knowing that you’re not alone is all it takes to stay the course. Reachout to the Memory Care Director in your community for information about the nextscheduled Dementia Support Group.
