As a family caregiver, you make a big difference. Here’s how:
- You bring comfort
Your familiar face and voice help the patient feel at home - You reduce stress
Just being there helps keep the patient calm - You help communication
You know the patient best and can explain their needs to the medical team - You speed up healing
Your presence can help the patient recover faster - You give emotional support
Your care helps fight off sadness in the hospital - You learn as you go
Everything you do now helps you provide better care in the future
TIP
Remember: You don’t need to be a doctor or nurse. Just be yourself. That’s exactly what your loved one needs.
Your care is important. Keep it up!
