While caregiving can be very rewarding, it also takes an emotional and physical toll. Roughly half of caregivers say they experience increased emotional stress, and a third report physical strain from their duties, according to a recent article from U.S. News & World Report. Additionally, 4 out of 10 caregivers reported they rarely or never feel at ease. This type of burnout can lead to depression, anxiety, and a weakened immune system.
Home Care Advisory Group can help caregivers access valuable support from the New York OPWDD, which offers programs designed to help families with members who have developmental disabilities like Down syndrome, autism, and more. The OPWDD offers respite care, which gives caregivers a temporary break while experts provide quality care for their loved ones. This respite gives caregivers opportunities to recharge, which helps them provide better overall care.
Caregivers can also access valuable training programs from OPWDD, including behavior management and emergency response. Building these skills can help caretakers provide better care and feel more in control in the home, improving the environment for all. The office also offers counseling and support groups for families, which can reduce stress and reduce feelings of isolation.
Home Care Advisory Group can help families with developmentally disabled members establish service eligibility with the state, including the application process. The advocacy group’s experts can help with paperwork like medical records and financial information. Once eligibility is determined, the group’s team members and service coordinators can help create a personalized care plan and navigate service options.
