You're not the only one.

Sometimes it feels like you are the only one taking care of a loved one, with little support from family or friends. It doesn't have to be that way.

• Better Off at Home is growing an online support group, right here in West Georgia.
• You can be a part and make a difference.

Sometimes all you need is a little support. And maybe some good advice.

Are you part of the Sandwich Generation? If you are a caretaker of an elderly relative and your children, you are! It is not easy. In fact it is extremely difficult. You may have the experience of making sure to pick up the medication from the pharmacy for your parent in time to be able to get home in time to pick up your children from school. Usually the person that does not get taken care of in this situation is you.

It's not uncommon.

An important part of self-care is to talk to other people who are experiencing the same thing. A loose support group of people who are also caretakers can make a big difference. Here in the Douglasville, Villa Rica, Carrollton, Lithia Springs and West Georgia area, your source for support is Better Off at Home. Knowing that you are not alone in this situation can be very helpful. You might also be able to share ideas that have worked for you.
