Agreed - what I would like to address is prevention of caregiver burn-out - a
well known issue here. When the diagnosis is dementia, there's often services
available like respite care - could be in house ("sitting") or otherwise - by
private organizations or otherwise. For "just" physical disability this might
be more difficult to find, but offering help with finding it would to me be an
OT intervention in the line of prevention and compensation. Also, the caregiver
might need to know what to do if she ie got sick/hospitalized -> more peace of
mind for both.
Warmly
