At Aging Home Health, we understand that you are under an incredible amount of the stress. On our FB senior Caregiver forum, we lost 3 caregivers in one year. Two died and the third had 2 severe strokes. This has a serious affect on our group dynamics. Our caregivers get to know one another, and for most, the loss of a peer is an eye opening experience.
It becomes very real, that this is something that can happen to them.
