Caregiving can be an incredibly rewarding experience, but it is also common for caregivers to experience increased stress, health problems and financial consequences as a result of their new role. For the sake of your own health - and that of the person you are caring for - it can be helpful to find out how to take care of yourself and ensure you get the support you need.
