Understand Parkinson's care better with our comprehensive family guide. Senior Helpers’ blog provides thoughtful advice and support for caregivers.

Senior Helpers is an organization that has been around for a little over a decade. It recently opened up a new training facility in Milwaukee near Howard and 27th Street.

Cindy Manzara is Senior Helpers' director of care. Her job is to teach and work side-by-side with caregivers and those in training while at the facility. They work together by going through transfer movements, like getting someone up and out of bed and ready for the day.

“We do absolutely thorough training with our caregivers to make sure they recognize safety risks in the apartment,” Manzara said.

When your senior starts needing a caregiver in Milwaukee to help out with daily activities, it makes sense to hire someone who can come in for the day, be of assistance to your senior and do some chores as well. In fact, as seniors' mobility decreases, they may not be able to do any chores, such as cooking and cleaning, without assistance. You can either hire a caregiver to take care of everything or opt for a cleaning service. In cases where your senior is unable to do anything around the house, you might need to get both.

As we grew up, our parents taught us to listen to them and even disciplined us when we were stubborn. It comes at a time when adult children become caregivers and the aging parents aren't willing to listen to you. 

Caregiving is stressful, and you need to make sure that you preserve your own well-being and health. Read on to find out essential tips for coping with caregiver stress.
