Caregiver's Bill of Rights |
|
By Stacey Matzkevich. MSG, MSW,
LCSW
As you become totally entrenched
in the responsibilities of caring for a loved one, you must also continuously
remind yourself that you have certain rights, too! Read this often and remind
yourself that you must take care of yourself first!
| |
· You
have the right to receive the knowledge, resources, training and support you
need to be successful as a caregiver. |
 |
· You
have the right to acknowledge your own needs and to expect those needs to be
met. |
|
|
· You
have the right to enjoy a well-rounded and meaningful life that includes
family, friends, work, activities you love and time to yourself. |
|
|
· You
have the right to seek and accept help from community, family, friends and
support services. |
|
|
· You
have the right to access quality services that treat you and the person you
are caring for with dignity and consideration. |
|
|
· You
have the right to all of your feelings as a caregiver, from the moments of
unexpected joy to those of anger and frustration. |
|
|
· You
have the right to be a part of a care giving team rather than having to do
it all by yourself. |
· You have the right to ask for
and receive appreciation and respect for your care giving.
|
|
· You
have the right to acknowledge that the unique gift of your time, energy and
emotions has as much value as any care-giving task. |
