I try not to let my family know just how burned out I get between caring for my own family as well as my grandmother who recently became homebound. I started caring for her last summer and I had just had my first child 3 months before so the stress started to really build over the holidays and I'm really starting to feel it now and I'm burning out. My partner, trying to be helpful, bought my grandmother a specialized senior cell phone from SVC prepaid and is actually trying to teach her to use it - she hopes it will give her a little more independence as well as allowing me to have a little freedom well. I think it's a great idea...I don't think it will really take away the stress.
