Long Distance Caregivers stressed by distance

 Stressed Caregivers Created By Parents Decline at Thanksgiving Visit

Stressed caregivers are preparing for the Thanksgiving holiday gathering. So care managers -get ready for the holiday rush -when these long-distance caregivers call you. Many have often been flying or driving to visit and care for aging family members for a while and have been exhausted for a long time. These usually understand that their parents are deteriorating with age and are savvy enough to have researched options and already found you online ( a reason to have a great website).

The Holiday Push Over The Edge

Stressed caregivers are getting ready for holiday travel.

Stressed Caregivers are overwhelmed when a local or Long-distance family gathers with aging parents on Thanksgiving, and everyone sees problems with an older person- the long-distance family may agree to call for help.  On top of caring for an aging parent long-distance, the brutal stress of the holiday season may push the long-distance care providers over the edge to join the Holiday Rush for care and call you. Are you ready for that holiday rush??

Unpaid bills litter Dad’s desk. He refused to go to church when he was a devoted churchgoer all his life.

He’s drinking too much at the local pub. When the daughter puts the post-turkey leftovers in the refrigerator, she finds moldy food on every shelf. When asked about the bills and the moldy food, Dad gets really angry at them when he was an easygoing guy all his life. This is the holiday push where they pick up the phone and scream  911 to a care manager.
