Caregivers are truly superhumans, because suddenly everyday tasks require skilled labor.

Eating, going to bed, bathing, getting into a car.

When you’re caring for an older adult or person with a disability, when these go smoothly, it’s a small win. If you’re getting started with caring for a family member (or if you’ve been a caregiver for a long while) it makes sense if you don’t know how to approach these simple tasks. Nobody teaches us.

To help you learn, we made a series of videos in English AND Spanish that cover a range of skills relevant to caregiving.

Everyone on our team has lived experience as a family caregiver 🩵

We asked them what a good day, together looks like.

Here’s what they said:

From Amy 🩷 - As my family ages, I am finding my caregiving duties increasing, especially when it comes to managing finances and legal affairs. This kind of stuff can be tedious, frustrating, and time consuming. Often my interactions with my family are all about business, because there is just so much to do. But we still find time to just be a family together. Last fall, my partner and I took my Dad, my Aunt Ruthie, and my Uncle Larry to Ya Ya Orchard for fresh apples and donuts. It helps me remember that caregiving is not merely a grim duty; it’s an expression of love.

From Allegra 💙 - When my Grandpa Sam was experiencing increased symptoms of dementia, connecting with him became harder and harder. But I learned that what couldn’t be expressed in words can often be understood through imagery. I made a habit of bringing a new album of physical printed photos of my everyday life, every time I visited him. A good day for us was going through the album together, experiencing surprise and delight at the everyday. I cherish those photo albums even more now that he’s gone. This photo of Winnie at the crafts store got a laugh.
