102. How Designing Your Home Care Team Immediately Relieves Dementia Burden With Mike George

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the responsibilities of caregiving for a loved one with dementia? Many caregivers navigate this journey alone for far too long, unaware of the immense relief that building a home care team can bring. 

 

This episode features Mike George from Soaring Families (https://www.soaringfamilies.com/), where the discussion revolves around designing a home care team for family caregivers of individuals living with dementia. The focus is on relieving caregiver burden and ensuring endurance for the caregiving journey. Mike shares his personal experience as a family caregiver and emphasizes the importance of building a support team to share the load effectively.

 

 

We also talk about the challenges faced by family caregivers, particularly in starting the caregiving journey without a structured support system in place. Mike highlights the need for family caregivers to recognize the benefits of creating a care team early on to prevent burnout and stress. The importance of setting up the right environment in the home for caregivers is also discussed, including establishing boundaries and privacy considerations.

 

 

The message is clear: don't wait until you're overwhelmed to build your home care team. By starting early, focusing on trust, and customizing your approach, you can create a supportive circle that not only makes caregiving manageable but also enhances the quality of life for both you and your loved one. Reach out, explore your options, and take that first step towards a more supported caregiving journey today.
