This Week in Caregiving from the National Alliance for Caregiving
Here are the highlights from this week's news in family caregiving:
Next Avenue | November 14, 2016
"If you are a caregiver, it probably didn't dawn on you that's what you were until you were well along the caregiver path. And you could remain blissfully unaware as long as things were going well. Over time, however, things changed - dad developed diabetes, your arthritis worsened, mom's memory deteriorated - and you started feeling time crunched, stressed out, drained. And you began asking yourself: What am I doing wrong?"
CBS News | November 14, 2016
"A huge portion of a caregiver's salary goes to the needs of their sick family members or loved one, a new study shows. Family caregivers spend 20 percent of their income - an average of $6,954 - on out-of-pocket costs related to caregiving, according to the AARP Research report."
Caregiver Action Network | November 2016
"As a family caregiver, you know how important it is to take care of your sick or elderly loved one. But what you might not know is just how important it is to take care of yourself first. That's why the theme of this year's National Family Caregivers Month, Take Care to Give Care, is so appropriate. You need to take care of yourself to be strong enough to take care of your loved one."
Huffington Post | November 16, 2016
"AARP has produced a series of videos intended to help ease the burden on the nation's family caregivers. Take a look and see how you can make your - and your patient's - life run a little smoother."

Here are the highlights from this week's news in family caregiving:
Fast Company | November 8, 2016
"The AARP estimates that a caregiving employee costs a company $2,000 per year in lost productivity, which means the caregiver liability impacts both a company's bottom line and talent retention. And the majority of family caregivers are women, making this issue one of the biggest yet least disclosed obstacles in achieving gender equality.
And yet today's large and silent caregiving crisis seems benign compared to what our country will face over the next several years. The U.S. will soon have the largest elderly population in its history."
AARP | November 7, 2016
"According to the 2015 National Alliance for Caregiving/AARP Caregiving in America report, nearly half of all family caregivers are 'somewhat stressed' and more than a third are 'highly stressed.' Managing stress comes down to modifying our reactions. We can do this many ways. When we improve our sleep, we increase our capacity for patience. When we engage in more physical exercise, we release endorphins into our bloodstreams and reduce our tendencies to become anxious and depressed. When we reach out to others for help, we feel less panic-stricken and alone."
AAFP | November 9, 2016
"Caregivers of patients with chronic medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, or dementia place so much focus on their loved ones that they may neglect their own health in the process, thus putting themselves at a greater risk for health problems. That's why the Health is Primary campaign from Family Medicine for America's Health is focusing this month on promoting caregiver health."
