When you are caregiver to a loved one in assisted living, it can oftentimes feel like you are all alone. You can’t always depend on your loved one and while you love the assisted living staff that cares for your loved one, they can’t offer you the support you need. So where do you turn?
There are thousands of people just like you, caregivers who need support and guidance from someone who understands. If you don’t have the time to join a support group, you can build that same network of support through care-giving blogs. There are countless blogs for you to choose from, some directed specifically toward assisted living caregivers and some for caregivers of loved ones suffering from Alzheimer’s.
The following ten blogs are geared toward dealing with aging loved ones that reside in assisted living communities:
1. Caregivers Advice Blog
2. Caregivingly Yours
3. Family Caregiver Blog
4. ElderCare ABC Blog
5. The Caregiving Zone
6. Minding Our Elders Blog
7. Caregiver’s Beacon
8. Working Caregiver
9. The Senior Journal
10. Family Caregiver Alliance
By having a network of support around you, you will be able to better manage the stress and guilt associated with caring for a loved one in assisted living. You never have to go through the process alone; there are thousands of people just like you, looking for someone to lean on.
