Is there anything that could help with your mental/general health as a caregiver? Small things such as events for caregivers in your community to get to know each other, or ways to connect with other caregivers such as apps. Maybe opportunities to go to free activities to help you relax?
If a verified stranger would be able to donate their time to do a task for you every now and then would that help? They could do the shopping or clean the house - whatever you need, would you consider it? Or anything else that you can think of that doesn't require large budget or government involvement.
I attended an ‘in person’ caregiver support group once a month. In person support groups are nicer than an online forum. Face to face is always going to be better.
I probably wouldn’t allow a stranger to clean my house. I don’t even think I would eat meals that a stranger prepared.
I would have to give this a bit more thought. I like your interest and willingness to help caregivers.
I tend to do research on my own. When my mom wasn’t able to go to the hair salon I found someone who would come to our home to cut and style my mother’s hair.
You could provide a list of people who have references to provide services.
Not sure about local strangers unvetted - coming in the house. Was too vulnerable at the time with Mom bedbound, way too much random crime in the area for that.
Could have used: Someone to stop by and water the lawn, or take out the trash, or bring in mail though. (I was a disabled Caregiver) Someone to help trim bushes, pretty up the yard, etc. Someone who wants to do a little outside painting. All the things we can't really do when someone needs your help all the time inside...
Everything else - just managed as best as I could. Without having to spend money to have someone come in if you have to leave.
Your heart is in the right place - but, it's hard sometimes impossible for a Caregiver to leave the premises. I couldn't even go to Church.
