Caring for our mother in the final chapter of her life changed our lives forever. In the wake of her passing, I was determined to put to use all of the knowledge we had acquired while fighting to bring her the highest quality of care possible. With the help of my family, we founded Forever Carolina in her honor and we will continue to help low-income seniors get access to care that brings dignity and love into their homes. Although my mom is gone, her legacy will live on - not only in our hearts but also through action. — Rebecca Maville CEO https://forevercarolina.org/the-carrie-grant daily 0.75 2021-10-01 https://forevercarolina.org/our-team daily 0.75 2022-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe4eac7a58c40172185f109/4b75a827-a7be-424a-8954-9cac38a1cbba/06.07+Rebecca+Maville02988.jpg Our Team - Rebecca Maville Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Caregivers often feel isolated, both emotionally and socially. The level of care required can make it difficult to maintain friendships or to take time for oneself. There can also be a sense that others do not understand what you are going through, which can deepen the feeling of loneliness. Support groups, respite care services and counseling can make a significant difference in your daily living. A support group can also be a wonderful way to build friendships and to be encouraged by others walking a similar journey. Connecting with others who understand can help you develop new coping strategies and give you strength in knowing you are not alone. Contact Forever Carolina if you are interested in learning more.

Sobremesa Una de las necesidades más importantes que tienen los cuidadores es el apoyo, tanto práctico como emocional. Los cuidadores a menudo se sienten aislados, tanto emocional como socialmente. El nivel de cuidado requerido puede hacer que sea difícil mantener amistades o tomarse tiempo para uno mismo. También puede haber una sensación de que los demás no entienden por lo que estás pasando, lo que puede profundizar el sentimiento de soledad. Los grupos de apoyo, los servicios de cuidado de relevo y el asesoramiento pueden marcar una diferencia significativa en su vida diaria. Un grupo de apoyo también puede ser una manera maravillosa de construir amistades y de ser alentado por otras personas que están siguiendo un camino similar. Conectarse con otras personas que entienden puede ayudarlo a desarrollar nuevas estrategias de afrontamiento y darle fuerza para saber que no está solo.
