MEMBER TO THE FAMILY

► Families have multiple and evolving roles in taking care of elderly members.
► It describes the complexity of the roles and responsibilities. Family
caregiving is more intensive, complex, and long lasting than in the past and
caregivers rarely receive adequate preparation for their role. Few things to
consider is the timing of entry into the caregiving role, the duration of the
role in relation to the overall life course of the caregiver . What is so
challenging is the dual role that they have- Care for themselves and other
significant others and care of the elderly.
