Caregivers: Don’t forget to care for yourself

Caregivers know too well that caring for a loved one isn’t easy, especially when paired with managing job and other life responsibilities. In fact, studies show that two-thirds of those caring for aging relatives report job-related difficulties.

At PA Health & Wellness, we know caring for someone can be stressful. That’s why we’re celebrating National Family Caregivers Month to applaud those making daily sacrifices for someone special in their life.

It’s important to care for yourself. Here are a few ways to do so:

• Get a massage.

• Schedule your own doctor’s appointment.

• Talk to your employer about your schedule.
