How to manage and find some relief
Family caregivers have always had stressful jobs, caring for their loved ones while trying to handle their own personal affairs, but COVID-19 has made it even harder.
The situation was already dire. These caregivers — many of whom couldn’t imagine not helping their loved ones — receive little training before taking on the role for someone after hospitalization, according to research from Jo-Ana Chase, an assistant professor at the University of Missouri Sinclair School of Nursing found.
Despite these protections, many centers have suffered outbreaks, which have accounted for large percentages of overall coronavirus-linked deaths across the United States. Families have tried to keep in touch, such as visiting at the window of a loved one’s room or through video-chat, while others have taken their relatives in and may need to soon decide if and when it’s safe for them to return to these facilities, Wilson said.
