Caring for dementia patients involves a lot of patience and understanding. It must be faced boldly and unwaveringly to ensure the well-being of vulnerable adults. Caring at home or in a nursing home required caregivers to be at their best, physically and emotionally.

Additionally, caregivers suffer more stress than those who do not care for older people with dementia. In relation to this, the health of caregivers is not linked to their emotional functioning (Bristow et al., 2008). These various reports suggest that caregivers experience greater psychological problems than ordinary people. This can be seen as exposure of caregivers to a stressful environment.
