What are your priorities when planning for your future care?
In this episode of Your Future Self we introduce you to our Social Pillar of Care.
All too often, and unnecessarily, caregiving is a lonely undertaking for you and your loved one.
Over time and all too often, caregiving breeds isolation. Loss of social outlets and limited interactions with family and friends are common which can lead to depression and despair.
While caregiving can be hard, there are great joys too.
Our Social Pillar will provide you with the tools to help you stay connected to your hobbies, your friends, and your family and how to create a care team to help alleviate some of the caregiving burden and maintain those vital social ties.
