In this episode of ‘Ageing Gracefully’ our host Mrs Gila Pereira discusses the topic 

Caring for the Caregivers - Part 1

with our esteemed panel of speakers -  Fr. Juventius Anrade and Dr. John Tharakan.

We generally talk about the care for those ageing, but seldom do we recognise that those who care for the elderly also need special attention and care. It is very important to consider the people who care for the elderly. They can be from within the family or they can be hired to help or professional help. Families need to be aware and prepare themselves to render the best care they can give to the elderly.

The following three episodes are going to do just that, talking about the care for the caregivers. The speakers highlight some very real and important pastoral and medical situations and conditions that caregivers face, and what kind of support they need as they take care of those ageing.
