Understanding Caregiver Fatigue & Dementia

Dr. Asha Shajahan, Medical Director of Community Health at Corewell Health shares with us her personal and professional experience of being an at- home family caregiver. Dr. Asha recommends that caregivers seek help in building a support team of family members, church members, medical and agency resources to find out what resources your family member may qualify for. Social interaction can help you avoid social isolation, depression and fatigue by staying engaged with a support team and your loved one’s physician. Acceptance of one’s condition is key!
