I’m an occupational therapist. My day-to-day work is as a therapist to people with mental health and behavioral issues. I help families communicate and problem solve with one another. I help families manage their daily lives. I also help caregivers, such as those that care for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, to manage their time and activities. When I’m not a therapist, I’m a mom, wife, and grandmother.
I also work with people who have difficulty with family roles. I work with caregivers who are mothers of kids with autism or other developmental disabilities. I work with caregivers who are caring for a parent or family member who has Alzheimer’s or dementia. I also work with caregivers who are caregivers of children with autism or other developmental disabilities.
In one study, researchers found that caregivers who were working with these people who have dementia or Alzheimers were more likely to report being “overwhelmed or underwhelmed” than caregivers who were not working with them.
This study is not new. In fact, the very idea of caring for someone who has dementia or Alzheimers is quite old. The original term used to describe this caregiving role was known as “caregiving” or “assisting”, but that was based on the idea that the caregiver was helping the person to live. The idea of “sitting back and doing nothing” was also popular.
This is probably one of the biggest reasons I think many caregivers who try to raise their families seem to be struggling, at least by the definition I’m using at the moment. Many are probably feeling overwhelmed with the demands of caring for a loved one who has dementia or Alzheimers.
Caregiving is a difficult job, for sure. It’s an extremely physically demanding job and there are lots of ups and downs. However, while caregiving is difficult, it can also be rewarding and fulfilling. I have clients who work hard and do a great job of providing care, but they also get the opportunity to be out there in nature. They get to do things that they wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise and they feel like they’ve accomplished something.
For someone who loves to garden and do other things, the caregiver role can be extremely stressful, but that can be balanced with other positive aspects of the job. In my experience, my clients have a lot of patience and I find that I enjoy taking care of them during times that I have a lot of time on my hands. This can be a great balancing act for the caregiver.
I’m not sure if this is true in the medical field, but I know that there are some caregivers who want to give up the caregiver part to devote all of their time to caring for someone. This can be a very stressful situation and can be a great balancing act between the two roles.
I’ve heard that many people will do anything to keep their caregiver role. I’ve seen it in my practice. We have a caregiver who is an attorney and another who is an accountant, who both have a special interest in my client’s case. They have been very patient and I’ve seen them both laugh and joke a lot over the past few days.
Ive done this with both the caregivers and the clients, and Ive seen both sides of the coin. My client has had a lot of time with me and Ive been very patient with her. Ive also seen the opposite side of the coin of the caregiver. Ive seen her get angry and frustrated when she cant get enough information from me. She has even gone as far as to ask me if I have a gun and if I have a bullet proof vest.
