Family caregivers in Tampa give enormous amounts of themselves. Recognizing burnout protects both you and your loved one.
Signs of burnout
Exhaustion, irritability, withdrawal from friends, sleep and appetite changes, resentment, frequent illness, or feeling you can never do enough. Burnout raises the risk of a crisis for both of you.
Getting relief
Respite care, adult day care, and in-home help can give you a break now. Florida's Area Agency on Aging funds caregiver respite. A free advisor can build a sustainable plan — asking for help is strength, not failure.
