(upbeat music) - Hi, it's Debbie from Understood Care. Did you know there are programs out there where if you're a full-time caregiver for somebody, we can get you a caregiver to come in a few hours a day, however many days a week, so that you can go out and still run your own errands, you can still take care of yourself, you can still go visit your friends, have lunch with your friends, have dinner, even go on vacation.

Being a caregiver can be overwhelming depending on the person that you're caring for, their diagnosis, their issues, the amount of doctors and medications. It can be so overwhelming sometimes that you just don't feel that you can do it anymore. You're not alone, whoever you're caring for, under there are Medicare and Medicare Advantage benefits.

There are caregiver benefits available to you that are paid for. We can help you find services so that you can still have time for yourself.
