Taking care of an elderly loved one is a fulfilling yet challenging commitment. It can be a long and demanding journey. The constant effort can put physical and emotional stress on the caregiver over the long term. Caregivers need to take periodic breaks and practise self-care to continue journeying with their loved ones. To avoid burnout, caregivers can opt for Respite Care.
