Taking care of yourself is one of the most important things you can do as a caregiver. Caregiving is not easy — not for the caregiver and not for the person receiving care. It requires sacrifices and adjustments for everyone. Often, family caregivers must juggle work and family life to make time for these new responsibilities.

Caring for an older adult can also be rewarding. Many people find that caregiving provides a sense of fulfillment and that they like feeling useful and needed. But the ongoing demands of taking care of someone else can strain even the most resilient person. That’s why it’s so important for you to take care of yourself. This article can help you find ways to look out for your own well-being so you can be there for others.

Check out these great tips for balancing caregiving and self care from The National Institute on Aging.

In the U.S., an estimated 53 to 105.6 million adults provide unpaid care for ill, aging, or disabled family members and friends. Beyond that, approximately 5.4 million children and adolescents also serve as direct caregivers.

Caregiving, a feature-length documentary accompanied by a series of short films, explores this profound and often overlooked reality. The project will examine caregiving from multiple perspectives:

The creation and evolution of our care system
The social dynamics shaping how we view and provide care today
The future of caregiving in America
The personal stories of caregivers and the deep relationships they share with those they support.

If you haven't already, make sure you check out the film.

Caregiving is now streaming on WellBeings.org, the PBS App and PBS.org.

From Executive Producer, Bradley Cooper, comes a new documentary on the state and stakes of providing care in America.
