Caring for an aging parent or loved one is one of the most meaningful — and most demanding — things a person can do. In this episode of the Daily Senior Safety Advice Podcast, host Esther Kane, a retired Occupational Therapist, Certified Aging in Place Specialist, and Dementia Care Specialist, addresses something caregivers rarely give themselves permission to talk about: their own mental health. Esther walks listeners through the signs of caregiver stress, the reasons so many caregivers resist getting help, and four practical strategies to begin protecting their emotional wellbeing — starting today. Whether you are caring for someone full-time or stepping in part-time, this episode is a compassionate reminder that your needs matter too. Visit SeniorSafetyAdvice.com ...
