Disability assistance, care for the elderly
There is a lot to do in caring for people with disabilities or the elderly in everyday life. The pressure is high: ensuring compliance with regulations, completing tasks, taking care of the rest of the family. Caregivers, caretakers or family members can quickly come under enormous stress. Often, such people with disabilities cannot communicate enough. They can also become increasingly “difficult”: demanding, short-tempered, unpredictable. They feel that they are perceived as a burden and react by withdrawing and/or even more problematic behavior.
How can this vicious cyrcle be interrupted? How can you avoid exhaustion in caring for “difficult” people?
The elderly and people with dementia who can no longer cope on their own or depend on care from others need a very special form of support.
