Chapter 12 of our book "At the Heart of The Matter" we talk
about Making a Life Plan as caring individuals. But before we can make a truly efficient plan we must assess our
current situation to plan for the future.
Step 1 of our four step process includes understanding your capacity and
stress level as a caring individual. In
addition, we've included a few post assessment questions that should really
give you a good start in proceeding to Step 2: Develop A Plan
Step 1: Assess Your Situation- When
assessing your caregiving situation we would like to recommend taking both the Stress Level Assessment and the Caregiver Capacity Assessment as a
starting point. These are short,
no-cost, online assessments and you will see your results immediately upon
completion.
Listed below are three post assessment questions you should
ask yourself after completing your Stress
Level Assessment and Caregiver
Capacity Assessment.
- What is your caregiving
situation and your capacity to assist in a caregiving role?
- What can your loved one do
for himself/herself?
- What kind of assistance can
you offer your loved one today and in the future?
