Today’s Caring Moment deals with questions you should ask yourself before you decide to become a primary caregiver.
- Are you prepared for the pressure on your spouse and children?
- Have your spouse and children agreed to take Mom and Dad into your home?
- Have you established a working arrangement with siblings and other family members?
- Have you anticipated the wear and tear on your health?
- Are you prepared for the emotional stress of long-term care?
- Have you evaluated the financial cost of providing care?
- Will you be able to continue working and provide family care?
