For this reason, we implore you to care for yourself as much as you care for our clients. Last year we offered our caregivers [8 Ways to Avoid Caregiver Burnout](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/how-to-avoid-caregiver-burnout). However, the stresses of all that 2020 has brought us requires more than avoiding mental fatigue. We recognize that self-care is an active part of caregiving, so we've put together this list of things you can do to care for the most valued caregiver, YOU!

The idea behind this project is for clients and caregivers to "Take 5 minutes each day and write down, record, or draw 3 things for which you are grateful." Although there is no clear origin as to how journaling gratitude began, it is a concept that has been around for almost 20 years. "The research behind gratitude is very clear; having a simple and regular gratitude practice can have surprising, profound effects on our lives," says Dr. Lauren Tober in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izIxsfAvKB4).

Our city has changed and so is who we call heroes. Heroes care for others as if they’re family. For the countless amount of people who may not have anyone else to turn to— They do grocery runs, fill prescriptions, and enter the city streets so we, the vulnerable don’t have to. They are our neighbors, our friends, our relatives.  [0 Comments](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/show-us-your-signs#comments-listing) [Read More →](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/show-us-your-signs) ## [Caregiver Safety Tips](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/caregiver-safety-tips) Posted by [Kelly La Rosa](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/author/kelly-la-rosa) in [Caregiver Corner](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/caregiver-corner) [![Caregiver Safety Tips ](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/3938498/person-standing-near-train-2120010.jpg) ](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/caregiver-safety-tips) Home health care is a growing industry. With the onset of an aging population and ever-increasing hospital rates and fees, it is no wonder families have turned to in-home care to address the needs of their loved ones. However, this does not come without an increase in risk factors either.  “Home health aides employed by agencies have a reported incidence rate of 15.3 nonfatal illnesses and injuries per 100 workers, compared with 3.9 per 100 workers employed in the health care private sector, such as physician’s offices” according to the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI).

The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. ### Posts by Topic - [Health & Lifestyle (53)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/health-lifestyle) - [Caregiver Corner (50)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/caregiver-corner) - [Alzheimer's & Dementia (37)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/alzheimers-dementia) - [Coronavirus Updates (21)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/coronavirus-updates) - [Insider News (20)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/insider-news) - [wellbeing (8)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/wellbeing) - [mindfulness (5)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/mindfulness) - [summer (5)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/summer) - [Hospice (4)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/hospice) - [home care (4)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/home-care) - [heat (3)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/heat) - [Nutrition (2)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/nutrition) - [PTSD (1)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/ptsd) - [Veterans (1)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/veterans) - [flu (1)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/flu) - [norovirus (1)](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/tag/norovirus) [see all](https://hha-online-application-new.truecareny.com/blog/author/kelly-la-rosa#) ### Subscribe to Our Blog Copyright 2026 | Designed with ** by [HubSpot](https://www.hubspot.com) #### Discover True Care ###### **ABOUT** [Home](http://www.truecareny.com/) [About](http://www.truecareny.com/about) [Services](http://www.truecareny.com/services) [CDPAP](http://www.truecareny.com/cdpap-what-is) [FAQ](https://www.truecareny.com/faq)   ###### **CONNECT** [Careers](https://www.truecareny.com/careers) [Become an HHA](https://www.truecareny.com/hhajobs) [Locations](https://www.truecareny.com/locations) [Blog](https://www.truecareny.com/blog) [Employee Portal](https://truecare.myhubintranet.com) [COVID Updates](https://www.truecareny.com/coviddecupdate) ###### **CONTACT** 117 Church Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11218              P [718-854-8783](tel:7188548783) F [718-851-3815](fax:7188513815) E [info@truecareny.com](mailto:info@truecareny.com) [Privacy Policy](https://www.truecareny.com/privacy-policy)     ### Join our family circle for regular care updates. - [**](https://www.facebook.com/truecareny/) - [**](https://www.instagram.com/truecareny/) - [**](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVivTkamLB_1NnH8Hwo-wbA) - [**](https://www.linkedin.com/company/3615529/) True Care is accredited by The Joint Commission for meeting the industry's highest nationally recognized standards of care.
