The CareSide

Unpaid caregivers in Australia are burnt out. We surveyed more than 700 carers across the country, and 94% of them reported feeling physically or mentally exhausted due to their caregiving responsibilities. The data from our report provides a small glimpse into the world of unpaid caregiving, but it also makes this question feel more imperative than ever: Who's caring for our carers?

The holiday season is an exciting time, but it's also a busy time—especially for Australia's unpaid carers. There are nearly three million unpaid carers across the country, and their responsibilities often ramp up to overwhelming levels around the holidays. Many carers feel guilty when they can’t cross off every item on their endless to-do lists. Caregiver guilt is real: it is a byproduct of caring for a loved one and the stress that can accompany that monumental responsibility (on top of everything else!) Check out our guide to caregiver guilt and let's remember...our carers need care, too! https://lnkd.in/eWC8SDFS #caregiving #caregiversupport #unpaidcarers #caregiverstress #caregiverburnout #agedcare #agedcareaustralia #homecare #homecareaustralia #healthcareaustralia #homecareservices #homehelp #agedcareservices #agedcaresupport

This week in #agedcare news: A recent survey revealed that 4 out of 5 older Australians would prefer not to go into residential aged care. The AMP-commissioned study pinpointed numerous top concerns shared by people aged 65 and over, including the relocation and cost commitments necessary for moving into an aged care facility.
