Caring for Aging Arkansas
We all age. If we’re lucky, someone will be there with us, allowing us to do so in dignity and with as much independence as possible.
When a loved one becomes a senior, it’s our turn to care for them. Taking care of an elderly loved one in your home comes with many responsibilities, but when your family member is able to remain at home instead of in a long-term care facility, the benefits are just as numerous.
Aging with The 5A
The Arkansas Association of Area Agencies on Aging (5A) provides services and resources for the aging residents of Arkansas and their caretakers. One aspect of those services is to provide you with all the tools you need to successfully take on a caregiving role.
The Caring for Your Aging Loved One Checklist is just one of the many ways the 5A reaches out to caregivers. It includes resources to help you on your journey as well as self-care tips to keep you healthy, too.
Providing the Best Possible Care
Our checklist is a compilation of the practical information you need to provide your aging loved one with the best care possible. You’ll learn:
On top of this, you can find information on family caregiver support and the benefits that dedicated groups and programs offer for aging loved individuals and the people who care for them.
Being a caregiver can place a heavy toll on you, but it is also a rewarding path, enabling you to care for one of the most important people in your life in a safe, attentive way that simply isn’t possible from long term care facilities and allowing them to maintain a more independent life for longer.
