• Being responsible for the caregiving of a senior
  loved one is a tough job with several other
  responsibilities of life to fulfill. Family
  caregivers often face challenges when becoming
  unable to organize their duties and
  responsibilities in a proper way to keep everyone
  happy, but remain unaware of the fact they need
  help for themselves to help others. Experts at
  Home Care Roseville advise family caregivers to
  take good care of themselves and keep an eye out
  for the indications that they may need help.
  Mentioned below are some of the major and most
  prominent signs that you may need help as a
  family caregiver.

1. Declining Health
Caring for someone, without caring for ourselves,
at times result in the risk of own health
decline. If you or any caregiver in your family
or friends is frequently getting sick or looks
weak, it may be an indication that they are
losing balance in life.
Help Tip Encourage the caregiver or tell
someone about your declining health so they can
be able to help you. Get a physical and medical
exam to determine your health. Discuss with other
family members to look after the senior loved one
in shifts so each of you can have a rest. Doing
so will help your loved one stay happier and
socialize. You can also look for a reputable
Roseville Home Care agency to offer respite and
live-in senior care services so you can rest
meanwhile.

2. Social Withdrawal
Finding time to socialize and enjoying with peers
during the day-to-day responsibility of
caregiving becomes challenging. Becoming aloof
and avoiding friends and family can strongly
indicate caregiver stress.
Help Tip You can invite the caregiver to social
activities or just for a cup of tea at your home.
As a caregiver, you can also ask friends to plan
a trip or go out for a lunch to find relaxation
and enjoyment. If your friends are busy in their
lives, you can simply go to a theater to watch a
movie.

3. Changing Appetite and Weight
Family caregivers may lose interest in eating
right and maintaining a healthy weight due to
lots of physical and mental stress. While some
caregivers eat less than they should, others tend
to overeat or stress eat. Such habits can result
in unhealthy weight and several health conditions
due to which they become unable to look after
their senior loved one and ultimately need help.
Help Tip You can help the family caregiver a
meal plan and take them out on grocery shopping
to allow them go out and relax. As a caregiver,
you can ask for a friends help for encouragement.
