I have talked some in the past about caregiver burnout and the importance of determining what caregiver resources are in your area to take advantage of. Today I am going to talk about the caregiver resources available in Tulsa, OK.
Life Senior Services is a place you should definitely take advantage of if you are a caregiver. At Life Senior Services there is a Caregiver Resource Library that has books, dvds, and magazines about topics that are of interest and useful to caregivers.
Life Senior Services also offers Caregiver Counseling as a more personal means to deal with all the changes and emotions that come with being a caregiver.
Caregiver Support Groups is another great service that is offered at Life Senior Services. At Caregiver Support Groups you get the opportunity to meet others in similar situations as yourself, and can give you advice on the different duties of being a caregiver. I highly recommend you join a Caregiver Support Group.
The Alzheimer's Association is another great resource if the person you are caring for has Alzheimer's. They have support groups available there and a lot of literature about how Alzheimer's progresses and what you need to know when caring for someone with Alzheimer's.
Also look into organizations you are already involved in such as your church, clubs, etc. Many times they will have support groups or can provide recommendations on where to go. There are many caregiver resources in Tulsa to take advantage of so you get the support you need.
