Overview

Provides an insight into the challenges of caring for a person with a disability. It is a practical approach that enables parents, siblings and others to better manage the demands of providing lifelong care. Personal and family struggles need to become manageable before parents can cope effectively with their family circumstances. When struggles are manageable, parents can focus on reducing the strain coming from caring for a person with a disability. This support is described in the Guide as FamilyCare. It may take many years to arrange, but in the end parents who determine to make these changes will reach peace of mind. FamilyCare is an approach that will help parents manage. Parents need to increase their understanding of the likely challenges and develop specific strategies that will address their family member's needs in relation to a range of factors including the nature of the individual person, power and control, inclusion, value, good care and role models. FamilyCare enables ageing parents to come to share their caring role with other people, confident that loving care of their family member will continue.
