This week in National Family Caregivers Month, we’ll be looking at the ways family caregivers can #BeCareCurious about their loved one’s goals. By better understanding what your loved one hopes to accomplish throughout their care journey, a caregiver can take those first steps towards delivering the kind of care they truly require. It may be the case that your loved one requires a level of care that is too complex or demands more time than can be realistically expected of a family caregiver. By communicating openly with your loved one, you can more easily determine if their expectations and goals are more capably handled by the 24-hour care provided by Assisted Living or Skilled Nursing. www.covlivingholmstad.org/skilled-nursing-facility-batavia-il?_vsrefdom=social-facebook-social-me...
