Planning for upcoming holiday gatherings, taking late summer or early fall vacations remind us that everyone needs to take time for themselves once in awhile. Family caregivers in particular have to take a break from the daily demands of caring for an older adult parent or spouse. Yet caregivers are often reluctant to undertake those much-needed getaways, for fear that their loved one will have a crisis while they are out-of-town. Professional Geriatric Care Managers provide assurance to families so that they can take a trip without worrying about Mom or Dad.
Professional geriatric care managers can help family caregivers who need a break. The National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers (www.caremanager.org )
has experts and resources available for guiding the public about addressing the needs of family caregivers and older adults.
