Caring for COVID-19 Risk From a Distance

Long-Distance Family caregivers are trying to get a handle of the new reality COVID 19 has on their lives. as caregivers, at a distance.  For many families, the number one concern is the seniors in their family.  As a Long-Distance Care provider, finding the balance between safety and well -being for seniors during the COVID 19 pandemic can be a new challenge added to the many overwhelming challenges that long-distance families face daily. Care managers can now overcome the distance with telehealth and Hipaa certified telehealth platforms. 

Long-Distance Care Providers Already offer the Most Expensive Care and Now COVID-Care $

They already live far away from their loved one, a national average of 450 miles, and travel an average of 4-7 hours to give care. Long-distance caregivers have the highest annual expenses (about $8,728) compared to co-resident caregivers (about $5,885) or those who care for a loved one nearby.

The experience of a long-distance caregiver is much different from and more complicated than that of a caregiver who lives in the same town. It’s important to know the local resources and services. Long-distance care providers are either not familiar or have vague memories of stores and resources that have changed since they moved away.

Long-Distance Caregivers Suffer Depression, Anxiety and Now Fear of COVID

 The crunch of caregiver demands frequently leads to depression, anxiety, and a feeling of helplessness. Caregiver overload is especially common among the long-distance sandwich generation, or those caring for their distant aging parents along with their own children and many times grandchildren. Long-distance caregivers are more likely to report emotional distress (47%) than caregivers either residing with their care recipient (43%) or residing less than one hour away (28%).

Neglecting Everyone in the family

 When the long-distance caregiver tends to ailing parents, they feel they are neglecting their own family and work responsibilities. Yet when they tend to their family, spouse, or job, they feel they are neglecting their parents. They live in a double bind.

Keeping seniors safe yet socially connected

For most families, keeping senior loved ones safe coronavirus infection is their number one priority as it is with families that live locally. But Long Distance Families must do this remotely which means forgoing in-person visits and finding other ways to create a connection. These families their number one concern is the safety of the seniors among their families or friends. It is important to find a balance between safety to avoid contracting coronavirus and being able to maintain happiness through social interactions with family and friends.

Seniors and their concerned families want to avoid isolation, depressions, and hospitalization with COVID while sheltering in place.

Like any disaster but especially with this pandemic- you may not be prepared and are desperately seeking a plan.
