Managing Guilt as a Caregiver

Commonwealth Senior Living at Christiansburg and Commonwealth Senior Living at Radford will be hosting two free seminars in June. The seminars, Managing Guilt as a Caregiver, will provide tips and tools on managing guilt associated with caregiving.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 23 percent of adults in the United States provide care or assistance to an aging friend or family member. Of that 23 percent, 54 percent reported feeling guilty about not being able to do more for those loved ones.

As adults, we are used to making informed decisions about purchases or living arrangements for ourselves, but being in a position to make those decisions for someone who has previously done the same for you can bring up a whirlwind of emotions.

Commonwealth Senior Living at Christiansburg’s seminar will take place on June 7th from 12:00pm-2:00pm at the Christiansburg Senior Center located at 1600 N. Franklin Street, Christiansburg, Virginia 24073. To register, e-mail: christiansburg@commonwealthsl.com

Commonwealth Senior Living at Radford’s seminar will take place on June 14th from 5:00pm – 6:00pm at the Radford Public Library located at 30 W. Main Street, Radford, Virginia 24141. To register, e-mail: radford@commonwealthsl.com.
