Patience People who need care often take longer to complete simple tasks. They may ask the same questions over and over. Good caregivers need patience to deal with anything from a loved one's memory lapses to angry outbursts. They practice staying calm and avoiding frustration. Compassion Empathy and understanding are absolutely necessary. Even when caring for an abusive person, caregivers try to remain empathetic and understanding. Humor Finding something to laugh about can make a tough situation bearable. A sense of humor keeps a caregiver emotionally strong and is a great stress buster. Being Present Good caregivers know the importance of respecting their loved one's current abilities. Rather than focusing on what their loved one can no longer do, a good caregiver tries be in the moment with them -- looking at photos, listening to music, cooking a favorite meal, remembering that they weren't always sick. Detail Oriented Good caregivers are good managers. They create schedules, plan for emergencies, and organize information so they don't have to scramble. Able to Accept Help Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. A good caregiver realizes they can't do it all alone. They line up friends, family, or professionals to step in when they need a break. Willing to Set Boundaries A caregiver should respect their own limits and say no to demands when necessary. Cooperative A good caregiver is part of a care team that may include doctors, family, and friends. Being understanding and flexible goes a long way toward being a successful team player. Assertive Good caregivers advocate for their loved ones. They ask questions and expect answers. Good caregivers learn about their loved one's condition, and they make sure their loved one gets the care they need to learn how to manage these chores safely, or how when to get help or help them.
