1 in 4 Hoosiers are taking care of an adult family member

In Indiana, it is reported that nearly one in four adults are responsible for caring for an adult family member. These caregivers are juggling careers and other family responsibilities. As a result,  these caregivers report having poor quality of sleep, high stress levels, and increasing debt. They are committed to caring for their loved ones, but emotionally, they need a break.

Adult day services can become an incredible resource for both caregivers and loved ones. The caregiver can finally have an opportunity to recharge when they can trust that their family member has a safe place to receive care. 

Do You Feel Overwhelmed with Caregiving? 

Often, we meet family members who want their loved ones to receive the best care, yet feel completely overwhelmed by exhaustion. They have been consumed with caring for a spouse, a parent, or a family member. Sometimes, even taking on the task of caregiving alone.  Behind their smiles, fatigue and burnout are setting in.

Support Services with You in Mind

Our care isn’t only for aging adults. It’s for the people who love them most. At Still Waters, we offer:

  • Comprehensive programs and two scheduling options for families looking for day services. 

  • Engaging senior-focused sessions and activities.

  • Daily nutritious, easy-to-eat refreshments on site.

  • Routine updates about your loved one while they’re away so that you have peace of mind while you recharge.

At Still Waters, we remind caregivers that caring for yourself is as valuable as caring for your loved one. Resting is not neglecting your loved one. As a caregiver, you need restorative rest and companionship as well. We regularly host Coffee Hour and Caregiver Support Groups to give you the refill you need to keep going.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone. We invite you to let Still Waters be your safe space. Rest is an essential part of the caregiving journey. You can trust our reliable staff to provide high-quality care away from home, allowing you to recover and recharge.
