I made this for those of us who have taken on the responsibility of caring for loved ones.
I’m new to caretaking. A few months ago, I uprooted to take care of my father. I could use some tips, tricks, and support. I doubt I’m alone in this.
So far, it’s rewarding, demanding, and a bit depressing. There have been many unforeseen challenges already.
My family kind of has this rule where we haven’t put any of us in assisted living. I took on this challenge because I love my dad and he needs me. He deserves as high a quality of life as possible. Maybe my siblings will help more in the future, though I’d never seen a more greedy and selfish bunch when our grandparents were ailing a decade ago. I’m sure some of you can relate.
Anyway, I hope this can be a positive sub here on Poal.
