It’s estimated that almost a quarter of American adults are caring for an aging parent, spouse, or relative. And while this can be very rewarding, it can also be very stressful.
If you are caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia related disease, you should head over to CaregiverStress.com and take their Caregiver’s Stress Assessment.
This online test will not only assess your stressl level but also provide advice on how to deal with the stresses you are under.
(I found out about the Caregiver’s Stress Assessment test over at The Dementia Caregiver’s Toolbox)
Thanks for this information, Liz. Caregivers certainly do get stressed and it’s one of the big causes of burnout for them. That’s why they also need encouragement and contact with others who understand.
