Scan with your phone’s camera to learn more about Recover Cash.

     

When faced with a prolonged illness or disability, many people require additional support from family members while receiving professional care at home. This additional mental, emotional and physical strain is often overlooked and can be detrimental to both the caregiver and the patient.Frequently, these family caregivers experience burnout – meaning a state of emotional, physical or mental exhaustion – due to caring for their family member. In this state, caregivers may lose their resolve and resign their family member’s care to professionals at a nursing home or hospital just to finally receive relief from their caregiving duties. This can result in additional straining of familialrelationships and the unplanned financial toll of having to receive care at a professional facility.
