Are you struggling to balance your life while caring for a parent with dementia?
Caring for a loved one with dementia is challenging, especially for adult children. Today's episode explores the unique challenges faced by adult child caregivers and offers insights and tips to navigate this journey effectively.
Did you know that 60% of family caregivers are adult children of someone with dementia? Most of these caregivers are between 45 and 64 years old, and 75% are women.
Balancing work and caregiving is common, with many caregivers working over 30 hours a week.
Additionally, 70% face significant out-of-pocket costs, and about half report high stress or health issues due to caregiving.
Being an adult child caregiver for a parent with dementia comes with unique challenges. By setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, seeking support, and planning ahead, you can navigate this journey more effectively.
Remember, you are not alone.
