Caregiving Employees – Make It All Work. Imagine the positive ripple effect that starts with supporting a caregiver employee. By offering flexible hours or paid leave, you allow them to continue cherished activities with their loved one. This, in turn, can keep the person with dementia more engaged and mentally stimulated.
Happier, more stimulated individuals with dementia often experience slower cognitive decline. This translates to a longer period where the caregiver can maintain a sense of normalcy and routine in their lives, reducing stress and boosting their overall well-being.
Studies have shown a clear link between employees happiness and increased productivity. A supported caregiver, less burdened by stress, is more likely to be focused and engaged at work.
