Caregiving often calls upon us to enter complicated and seemingly hopeless situations. Yet, after more than 10 years in home care, I am still amazed by the great influence that a caregiver can have. 

The Columbus location of Synergy HomeCare is buzzing with excitement, and for good reason. Today at 3pm they will attend the award ceremony for the family caregiver of the year, Bill Hayes. 

I hold the highest respect for the Greatest Generation, and constructed Synergy HomeCare’s caregiving system to treat them with the utmost dignity. As we reach out to new families each day and coordinate the best care attainable for their aging loved ones, we aim to give senior relatives the sense of freedom and expression that they want to retain throughout their elder years. 

It’s known as the “perfect storm”—the combined stress of caring for your aging parents and your children at the same time. If you have this double responsibility, you are a member of the sandwich generation, and face the same needs and opportunities of caring for your aging parents, yourself and your growing family.
