Male Caregiving
Men account for almost 40% of the caregiver population. In order for male caregivers to properly care for their loved ones, they must remember to care for themselves.
Here are seven emotional and physical tips for male caregivers:
- Participate in a support group.
- Vary the caregiving responsibilities among family members or friends.
- Exercise on the average of three times per week and maintain a healthy diet.
- Establish time for meditation.
- Practice time management.
- Prepare all necessary documents, i.e.: insurance policies, deeds, loans and funeral arrangements.
- Stay involved in hobbies.
