    As a caregiver, you take great pride in helping a loved one. And while you’re happy to do so, there’s no denying the stress it can put on your life. In addition to your own schedule, which often includes work and caring for your immediate family, you have many responsibilities as a caretaker. Rather than run yourself ragged, it’s important to take a step back and care for yourself too. There are many places you can turn for relief such as:
    • Other family members and friends
    • Long-term care and home health care agencies
    • Services such as Meals on Wheels
    When you enlist the help of other people and services, you take some of the pressure off yourself. And when you do that, you’re more energized and focused when you’re actually providing care. Should you come to the conclusion that you’re not qualified or able to care for your loved one, you must make a difficult decision. Is it time to consider moving them into nursing or assisted living care? Even though it may not be something your loved one wants to consider, it could be the best decision for the both of you. It’s important to take care of yourself when caring for another. Should you neglect to do so, you’ll eventually find that you’re unable to give your loved one the care they need to live their best possible life. Every little bit of help and relief matters, so consider the steps you can take to make life easier on yourself. Do you have questions about being a caregiver? Do you have questions or concerns about the long-term care of a loved one? If so, contact us for guidance and advice.

    Estate Planning attorneys are sometimes criticized for offering needlessly complex, 'canned' solutions. This never has been the case with Kevin. The documents he created were comprehensive when appropriate and surprisingly simple when suitable. In every case, they were individually crafted to meet our unique needs.
