continues. “
A consultation is
helpful for difficult situations
like, ‘How do we help some-
one stop driving?’ or if some-
one needs to move.
”
JFS coaches caregivers on
how to find a community
that will meet their loved
one’s needs, among other
topics that some may not feel
equipped to handle on their
own.
For those without next steps
lined up for caregiving, the
Geriatric Care Management
program also offers assess-
ments that help determine
which path to take. “People
may know their loved one is
declining, but they don’t know
what to do to bring some
stability,
” Breuer said. “If that’s
the case, someone from our
team can do an assessment of
that person and take a look at
everything from their activ-
ities of daily living to what
they’re able to do without
assistance.
”
JFS can help make recom-
mendations for medication
management, alleviating
social isolation (especially
throughout the pandemic),
cognitive screening and other
forms of support for loved
ones in need of caregiving.
They also offer a door-
through-door transportation
service that helps take people
to appointments, check them
in and make sure they get
safely to and from their loca-
tions. Kosher meal delivery
services can also be arranged
for individuals struggling to
cook.
CAREGIVER HEALTH
Taking care of loved ones
can take a significant toll
on caregivers themselves.
According to Caregiver.org,
40-70% of family caregivers
show clinical symptoms of
depression. That’s why it’s
essential for caregivers to also
focus on their own physical
and mental health to prevent
burnout or other more seri-
ous complications. “People
need to take care of their own
health, so they are better able
to provide care for people
who are counting on them,”
Breuer says.
Sleep, exercise and healthy
eating all play an important
role in overall health, some-
thing caregivers should aim
to make a priority in life.
Practicing calmness is also
important, whether through
meditation, journaling or sim-
