Caregivers Need a Lifeline is a call to recognize when families reach their limits and to respond before crisis hits. Behind every senior is a caregiver doing their best—often in silence. This guide explains how early referrals, timely support, and professional in-home care can change the outcome for families across Connecticut. Sheraton Caregivers proudly partners with healthcare teams and community professionals to provide relief, safety, and guidance when it matters most.
Why Caregivers Need a Lifeline
Many families shoulder the physical and emotional load of caregiving alone. Early recognition of stress and timely referrals help prevent burnout. By connecting families to home care services, you provide more than advice—you give them real, hands-on help that restores safety and balance at home.
- You see firsthand when families are near a breaking point.
- Connecting them to care before burnout leads to crisis protects everyone involved.
- When home care joins the team, families gain relief and the senior receives consistent support.
Spot Early Warning Signs
Early signs of caregiver stress are often subtle. Noticing these cues can prevent hospitalizations and help families stay stable at home.
- Missed medications or medical appointments
- Increased falls, wandering, or confusion
- Exhaustion, frustration, or isolation in the family caregiver
- Changes in hygiene, meals, or home organization
- Tasks that have grown too complex for the family to manage alone
