Caregiver Fatigue can be Harmful

Aging in place, taking care of everyone’s needs.

A few months ago my husband's health needs changed.   I became his caregiver while working and taking all responsibility for the house.  I felt I was doing well but our children were very concerned.  My children had a meeting with Tova and suggested we consult with her.  When Tova came, she was exactly the person and resource we needed.  She had extensive knowledge of what help is available, and helped us make an action plan.   She not only put our current lifestyle in perspective but offered many concrete suggestions to help stay in our home and get the best services for my husbands medical needs.  She was able to help us find solutions that took into account BOTH of our needs. By following many of her suggestions, our lives became easier and more functional.  I remain very grateful to her. — M..Z.
