Because today's people are living than ever, more psychologists and social workers have begun to study ways of care-giving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share a common characteris : They believe that they are the best persons for the job, for different reasons. One caregiver said she had always been close to the mother. Another caregiver was the oldest child, and another was the youngest child. Regardless of the reason, the caregivers all felt that they could do the job better than anyone else. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. They discovered three basic reasons. Many caregivers believed that they had an obligation to help their relatives. Some stated that helping others was felt more useful. Others helped that by helping some one now, they would deserve care when they became old and dependent.
Researchers have found that caring for elderly can be very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when care-giving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging got the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or independent. Perhaps, they prefer going into nursing home, and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to arouse confidence in others and ask for help from others. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help but they may not know what to do.
