Take Care of Yourself as a Caregiver

National Institute on Aging. "Take Care of Yourself as a Caregiver."

Key findings used in wiki

• The handout reinforces that caregiver self-care can be built from small, repeatable actions rather than waiting for a large break.
• Examples include taking a short walk, getting to sleep earlier, making time for a hobby, meeting a friend, trying a class, or joining a support group.
• It supports the wiki's framing that self-maintenance is part of sustainable caregiving, not an optional reward after everything else is done.
