Preventing Family Caregiver Burnout: Options for Relief

Know the signs

Irritability, poor sleep, frequent illness, or resentment are signals it’s time for help.

Respite that works

A few scheduled hours each week with a trusted caregiver helps you rest, run errands, or meet friends—without worry.

Plan breaks, don’t “earn” them

Put respite on the calendar first; life will fill the rest.

You’re part of the care plan

Supporting you protects your loved one’s stability, too.
