The "Sandwich Generation"
Caring for your aging parents and your children can be challenging. There are ways to reduce caregiver stress and maintain a healthy sense of well being during these challenging years.
3. Identify supportive resources and services
- Find out about resources in your community for caregivers
- At Duke you can utilize the Duke Family Support Program-660-7510, and
- Personal Assistance Service-416-1727
- Educate yourself about your loved one's condition
- When people offer to help, accept the offer and suggest specific things they can do
- Seek support from other caregivers-it helps tremendously when you know you are not alone.
