The long-haul routine of managing medications, appointments, emotional support and physical requirements such as bathing, dressing and meals, not to mention the myriad other tasks that caregivers find on their plates, can feel relentless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All too often, people find themselves buried so deep by the caregiver role that looking after their own physical and mental health falls by the wayside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Statistics Canada, roughly 8 million people \u2013 or one in four adults \u2013 are caregivers who provide unpaid support to family members or friends with long-term health conditions, disabilities, or aging-related needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data indicates that 1.5 million of these caregivers are seniors (65+), and about 52% of all caregivers are women. No doubt a large percentage of these caregivers are experiencing burnout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that there is a solution. GEM Health Care Services\u2019 trained, experienced professionals can help you shoulder the load and reduce the risk of burnout, or help while you recover from burnout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team includes registered nurses (RNs), registered practical nurses (RPNs), personal support workers (PSWs), as well as companions\/sitters.\u00a0Below are just some of the ways GEM can make caregiving less stressful and exhausting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Respite care:<\/strong>\u00a0GEM\u2019s trained professionals can take over many of the daily tasks of caregiving, allowing family members to rest, run errands, enjoy uninterrupted leisure activities or take vacations. This can include a wide range of activities including bathing, dressing, administering medication, housekeeping, meal preparation and more.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Setting boundaries:<\/strong>\u00a0Our assessment process is designed to help families identify what they can realistically handle in terms of caregiving support and to identify appropriate tasks to delegate.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flexible scheduling:\u00a0<\/strong>Even if your support needs fluctuate, we can help. GEM offers both flexible, short-term options as well as regular, longer-term care to respond to the family caregiver&#8217;s need for assistance and time off.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Education and training:<\/strong>\u00a0Our trained professionals can help caregivers be more effective in their role, by providing training on such techniques as managing dementia or safe medication administration. Our knowledge sharing is intended to increase caregiver confidence while simultaneously reducing stress for both the caregiver and their loved one.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Continuous communication:<\/strong>\u00a0We hold regular check ins as a team to monitor not only the client\u2019s well-being, but also that of the family caregiver(s). Many families tell us they feel so grateful for the dedicated support and advice they receive from GEM, noting that it reduces their sense of isolation. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Caregiver burnout is real and can manifest itself in both physical and emotional exhaustion. Not only does this put the caregiver\u2019s health at risk, it also can jeopardize their ability to provide the amount and quality of care needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gemhealthcare.com\/index.php\/gem-healthcare-home-2\/home-care-services\/\">Contact GEM<\/a> to learn more about how our one-on-one support can help both you and your loved one.
