Why We Focus on Caregiver Well-being

Self-Directed Support (SDS) empowers people to make their own care decisions—and it works best when caregivers are strong and supported.

However, SDS caregiving can cause stress and emotional fatigue. Members using SDS are more likely to have caregivers at risk of burnout.

Without help, this stress can impact both the caregiver and the quality of care provided.

But with the right tools and support, caregivers can stay healthy and confident.

Caring for You—So You Can Keep Caring for Others

Support for caregivers means better care for our members—and a healthier you.
