BrightStar Care - December 2019

We’re Here to Help You and Your Loved Ones WHENEVER YOU NEED US

Being a family caregiver for an elderly or disabled relative can be tough. In the United States, it’s estimated around 1 in 3 adults work in an informal sense as caregivers for a loved one. Even if you’re not caring for an elderly relative, chances are you can still imagine how challenging it would be to adapt your schedule to take care of not only the family but also an elderly parent or a special needs child. It’s a lot to wrap your head around, we know. Many of us at BrightStar Care of Central DuPage have been in that situation ourselves. While no one’s situation as a caregiver is identical to another, so many caregivers know what it feels like to be anxious, stressed, isolated, and burnt out. So, if there’s one thing we want informal caregivers to know, it’s this: You don’t have to do it all by yourself. Some caregivers might feel like no one can understand what they’re going through, and no one knows their loved ones as they do. While the skilled caregivers at BrightStar might not have the same personal history as you have with your elderly loved ones, part of what makes us good at what we do is how we form personal connections with our clients. Through those personal relationships, we can gain a deeper understanding of our clients’ needs and preferences. Bearing the responsibility of taking care of your elderly family members who can no longer care for themselves is an incredibly noble thing to do, but it’s not something anyone should have to do alone. At BrightStar Care of Central DuPage, our caregivers are ready to help before the burnout sets in. Whether informal caregivers just need an hour to rest, or a weekend away with their spouse and kids, BrightStar Care can take care of your aging loved ones while you’re gone. If you know families who could use a break, tell them to call us NOW at (630) 260-5300.

Ultimately, that’s why we do what we do at BrightStar Care. Even though it’s nice to be recognized for our hard work, our excellence isn’t contingent on receiving awards or recognition. We care for some of the most vulnerable members of our community because it’s our joy to help people, plain and simple. If you know

a family with a vulnerable loved one in need of in-home care, we hope you’ll direct them to BrightStar Care of Central DuPage. Have them give us a call at (630) 260-5300.

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Romans 12:9 13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.
