Are You a Dementia Caregiver Without Knowing It?

Caring for someone is a natural part of life, but sometimes we don't even realize we're doing it! 

This episode explores the hidden world of dementia caregiving, revealing the many ways we might be supporting a loved one without recognizing it as caregiving.

  • 0:02:29 Recognizing the Role of a Caregiver
  • 0:11:45 Balancing Personal Life with Caregiving
  • 0:16:34 Embracing the Role of a Family Caregiver
  • Key Takeaways:

    Caregiving is broader than you think: Helping a parent with finances, driving a spouse to appointments, or simply providing companionship to an aging friend – these are all forms of caregiving.

    Recognizing your role matters: Identifying yourself as a caregiver opens doors to valuable resources, support, and self-care strategies.

    Early identification is key: The sooner you understand your caregiving role, the better prepared you'll be to navigate challenges and find support.

    Don't be afraid to ask for help: You don't have to go it alone. There are many resources available to help you on your caregiving journey.

    This episode is for you if:

    You're unsure if you're a caregiver.

    You're feeling overwhelmed or stressed supporting a loved one.
    You're looking for information and resources on dementia caregiving.

    Remember, you're not alone in this. By recognizing your role and seeking support, you can make caregiving a more positive and manageable experience for yourself and your loved one.
