We know that providing care to our loved ones can come with its fair share of challenges, especially when there is more than one caregiver. It’s not uncommon to find ourselves in occasional disagreements with our sibling, family member, or friend who’s sharing the caregiving responsibilities.
From differing opinions on care levels to managing medications, financial decisions, and more, these disagreements can pop up like unexpected twists in our caregiving path. And let’s not forget the emotional rollercoaster that caregivers often find themselves on – stress, guilt, resentment, frustration… the list goes on.
In order to give the best care to your loved one, make sure each caregiver knows the responsibilities and insure everyone can easily find all the important information you may need.
