But what about the immediate challenges facing the current cohort of caregivers – the people who, often at the expense of their own physical and mental health, keep working to keep elders and others safe and comfortable?
Alexis McKenzie, a longtime eldercare leader and current consultant to nursing homes and assisted living communities, joins "Elevate Eldercare" to discuss strategies for easing caregiver stress – primarily by encouraging them to set aside time to direct that caregiving instinct inward.
