Portrait of caregiving. A manageable nightmare.
Caregiving takes a physical, financial, and emotional toll, and half of caregivers spend between six and more than 16 hours a day providing care, says a Northwestern Mutual Study. Seventy-six percent had to choose between taking time for themselves and providing care and 21 percent had to reduce their work hours to accommodate caregiving.
Behind such daunting statistics are real human beings, and it’s sometimes difficult to comprehend their day-to-day lives.
Neil Steinberg, a Chicago Sun-Times columnist provides a stark snapshot (https://bit.ly/2HKxnnQ) of what it’s like.
He visited Bob Ringham, a former Sun-Times photographer, at his North Carolina retirement home.
For more than a decade Ringham’s been caring for his wife of 46 years, Peg, who suffers from Lewy Body Dementia.
Steinberg portrays the immense job it takes to tend to a person at home and to cope with the physical and emotional demands of 24/7 caretaking.
It leaves little time for rest and hobbies or even a chance to get out of the house much.
Steinberg describes Ringham’s situation as a “manageable nightmare” during a conversation (https://bit.ly/2W2C1S4) on WBEZ.
Several local assisted living communities offer respite care. It gives a care giver a chance to take a break from the daily routine of care giving. Those under care have a safe place, 24 hour care, and meals for a short term stay.
