Support for caregivers
The process of aging is difficult, especially once the transition of life approaches. Baby boomers are an example of a population that is often referred to when discussing aging and also being a caregiver. This age group typically has entered retirement age and is either still working or caring for an older parent, or both. The challenge for caregivers is taking care of themselves, older children, and their parents. The transition from life to death is emotionally and physically draining. A number of family carers felt the home space was changed as a result of being the setting for end-of-life care (Morris, et al., 2015). As the home environment seems like a comfortable transition space, how can the caregiver (carer) receive the emotional, physical, and social support necessary to remain helpful and healthy?
