Caregiver burnout doesn’t always happen all at once. Sometimes, it shows up in small ways:

• Feeling tired no matter how much you sleep
• Snapping over small things
• Brain fog
• Guilt
• Isolation
• Feeling emotionally numb

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Support is available. ❤️

Contact the Area Agency on Aging of Southeast Arkansas to learn about resources and support for caregivers and families.

That’s why we developed several programs to help connect you with the resources and services you need to make your caregiving duties more manageable and to help ease the stress of caregiving.

Being a caregiver is more than a full-time job — it’s a 24/7 commitment.

We know you want the very best for your loved one, but trying to do everything on your own can quickly lead to burnout. Caring for an older adult often leaves little time to take care of your family — or yourself.

That’s where we come in. 💙

Our in-home respite care services are designed to give family caregivers a much-needed break. Whether it’s a few hours or a few days each week, you can take time to run errands, prepare meals, or simply rest and recharge.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Our caregivers are highly trained in-home aides, supervised by a registered nurse, so you can have peace of mind while you take care of yourself, too.

Because when caregivers are supported, everyone benefits. 💙

In-home respite care was designed to allow you anywhere from a few hours to a few days a week to go to the bank, make dinner for your family, or take a nap--whatever you need to do to relax a little and fill your tank back up.
