Clinical Case Studies in Long-Term Care Psychiatry Caring for the Caregiver
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 October 2024
Health providers of those with major neurocognitive disorders are in a unique position to provide support to primary caregivers who may be struggling with the many responsibilities of being a primary caregiver. Be sensitive to the presence of potential caregiver stress. Offer suggestions to caregivers that may assist in better interactions with their loved one with MNCD. Become familiar with the various support resources and supported living environments available to those with MNCD. Having a connection with a social worker/geriatric case manager can be helpful as a referral source for those families that may need more extensive assistance and planning for care needs. Be familiar with and ready to refer family members of those with MNCD to local support groups such as the Alzheimer’s Association for ongoing caregiver support.
