For the family members who find themselves caring for a loved one with dementia, stroke or disability, the 24/7 caring routine often leaves no time for a break. Denise Turner, director of Posada Life Adult Day Services, said what family caregivers need is time, advocacy and easy access to resources. âIdeally, a family caregiver should have an advocate, someone knowledgeable about all the resources available and able to do the footwork for family caregivers. Taking care of the day-to-day tasks that the rest of us take for granted is next to impossible for family caregivers,â she said.
