Family Caregiver FAQs
Family Caregiver FAQs
There are several programs that may offer financial support, including Medicaid waivers, veteran benefits, and state-funded caregiver assistance programs. It’s also worth checking if your loved one’s long-term care insurance covers caregiver support. We can help you explore available options.
How do I balance caregiving with work and other responsibilities?
Finding balance can be challenging, but scheduling tasks, setting up a reliable support network, and using professional caregiving services when needed can make a difference. Many employers also offer flexible work arrangements or family leave policies for caregivers.
What legal documents should I have in place as a family caregiver?
It’s important to ensure your loved one has key documents in place, such as a power of attorney, advance healthcare directive, and a will. These documents can help clarify medical and financial decisions, reducing stress during critical moments.
