In episode 10, Joelle talked with Victoria Bruce about the challenges of caregiving. Now, it’s time to talk tools with Debbie Compton, bestselling author of The Caregiver’s Advocate, a how-to guide for adults tasked with caregiving their elderly parents.
In this episode, Joelle and Debbie Compton discuss:
- Surrounding yourself with a community
- Understanding the stages of dementia
- Advocating for a loved one’s needs and rights
- What caregivers need
Key Takeaways:
- Building a support network, accepting help, and prioritizing self-care are crucial for caregivers to avoid burnout. Seeking support from family members, neighbors, church communities, and others can alleviate the burden of caregiving.
- Understanding the stages of dementia and managing the associated challenges can be facilitated by seeking information, support, and consultations from professionals and organizations dedicated to caregiving.
- Caregivers must be prepared for the profound spiritual and emotional toll, isolation, and the need to start fresh daily. Advocating for a loved one's needs and rights is crucial, as dementia can cause patients to exhibit behaviors and use language that is not reflective of their true character.
- Caregivers need to be vigilant about financial and internet fraud, promote exercise to reduce dementia risk, and maintain a sense of humor when dealing with generational aging issues.
“Things that happen to us can either be taken as a stumbling block or a stepping stone, and I choose not to be a victim.” - Debbie Compton
