Caring for a loved one who is far away can be stressful, but there are caregivers who can help you. Start by determining what assistance your parents need. Then find sources of assistance by using community resources such as the public library and your local Area Agency on Aging. Be sure to stay in touch regularly with your parents’ primary caregiver. Provide emotional support, and offer respite care so the caregiver can recharge.
