The article discusses the challenges of caregiving for frail and debilitated dying individuals. Care at home is increasingly difficult due to the decline in physical health and the energy required from caregivers. Caregivers often need to recognize their own need for support and reach out for help. Family dynamics can become strained under the pressure of caregiving responsibilities, and social workers play a crucial role in helping families manage stress. The realities surrounding aging and caregiving require open discussions about the eventual decline and death of loved ones, especially as they navigate moments of acute health crises.
Caregiving can cause stress in a family, and social workers can help manage that stress.
Dying individuals today tend to be more frail and debilitated than previously, making home care challenging.
