Caring for the Caregiver




Healthy Talk show

Summary: How can you balance working and caregiving?A caregiver is someone who helps assist and care for a person who may have trouble with daily activities or daily living. Some families choose to hire an outside individual to give care to an elderly parent, but oftentimes you might have to take on the caregiver role yourself. This may be because you're following your parents' wishes, you want to save money, or you don't know where to turn. How can you balance working and caregiving? Clinical social worker, Stephanie Erickson, joins Dr. Mike to discuss caregiving and how you can help support the person who took on the role of a caregiver.
