I have been caring for my elderly mother for the past few years and it has certainly had its challenges. Her health has declined and she now needs a lot of assistance with daily tasks. I was feeling overwhelmed and burned out from the responsibilities. A family member recommended this book to me and I'm so glad they did.
I found Implementing Success: Strategies for Effective Caregiving and Care Support to be an extremely helpful resource. As a caregiver, it can be difficult to know where to even start - how to best support your loved one while also taking care of yourself. This book provided tons of valuable guidance and evidence-based strategies. I learned all about assessing needs, communicating effectively, handling challenges like behaviors or medical tasks, and utilizing community resources.
I especially appreciated the emphasis on self-care techniques. As caregivers, it's so easy to neglect our own needs while focusing on others. But this book really drives home how important it is to prevent burnout by making time for stress relief. Whether it's exercising, meditating, or simply taking small breaks during the day, I now make self-care a priority.
The chapters on involving family members and asking for assistance from others were also eye-opening for me. I no longer feel alone in this caregiving journey. Overall, Implementing Success gave me so many tips and ideas to become a more effective caregiver both for my mom and myself. I feel much more prepared taking on this role. I would highly recommend this book for any caregiver looking for practical strategies and support
