The caregiving program at Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota is designed to support those dedicating their time to caring for a loved one.
However, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, that service has had to be put on hold.
“A caregiver is not getting a break. We talk a lot about caregiver burn out and that is just the total mental and emotional exhaustion of these caregivers,” said Lutheran Social Service’s Laura Rasmussen.
While the organization can no longer visit these homes, it has still managed to find a way to give these caregivers some relief.
