"Each day, all across North America, franchise owners and their CAREGivers see the strain that family caregiving is placing on individuals who are trying to do their best to work and care for aging loved ones. It's a balancing act that often leaves employers and employees frustrated. Our hope is to encourage both to look for ways to make family caregiving a win-win in the workplace." https://www.caregiverstress.com//caregiver-friendly-busin/

Caregiving can be a very rewarding and bonding experience but it can also be very stressful. According to a recent study conducted on behalf of the Home Instead Senior Care network, 31% of family caregivers admit they'd like more help, and 25% actually resent other family members who don't help out more. The stress gets worse if the caregiver has other important and pressing responsibilities, such as a job, children to care for, a busy social life, or some distance to travel to care for their elderly relative. https://www.caregiverstress.com//family-ca/stress-stories/

Caring for the rapidly growing aging population takes a village. While family members are the first to step up, we rely on professional caregivers across the senior care continuum, volunteers who want to give back, and people like you who can help with something as simple as taking out an elderly neighbor's trash.
