Collaborating on Projects with the Care Recipient

Another powerful insight was how friends or family members can step in to work with the care recipient on light projects—like organizing photos, clearing out a workspace, or making household task lists. These are often jobs the caregiver quietly absorbs due to the care recipient’s limitations, but they don’t have to be done alone. When someone else collaborates with the care recipient, it supports connection and eases the caregiver’s load.
