| The sandwich generation: Caregivers caught in the middle. |
Are you feeling squeezed between the needs of both your parents and children? If so, you're not alone. Nearly 34% of caregivers are over the age of 65.1
It's gratifying to be there for your loved ones. But it also can be overwhelming. If you're a member of the sandwich generation, remember that your well–being counts, too. Here are a few ideas for staying healthy and positive: |
 |
|
|
Treat sleep like it's precious, because it is. You'll need your rest to be strong for others. |
|
|
|
|
Eat healthy foods. You're in an elite class as a family caregiver, so keep yourself fueled up. |
|
|
|
|
Exercise. It's good for the body, mind and soul. |
|
|
|
|
Set aside time each day to meditate, listen to music or just do nothing. Even 5 minutes can help restore calm and peace of mind. |
|
|
|
|
If you're feeling rushed, stop and ask yourself, what's my priority right now? What can I put off or let go? It'll help give you a sense of control. |
|
|
You care for family members out of love, which is the greatest gift you can offer. Loving yourself makes that gift all the more meaningful.

| Mind the gap and save on your prescription drugs. |
The prescription drug coverage gap may sound like a scary place, but it doesn't have to be. You may not ever reach it, but it's good to know about it.
Most of the time, insurance covers everything you expect it to. But Medicare sets specific "milestones" for drug costs. In 2017, once you and your plan together spend $3,700 on covered drugs you enter the gap. You leave the gap once you spend $4,950 on covered drugs. After that, the plan pays most of your covered drug costs until the end of the year.
You can always find out where you are relative to the gap. Simply go online to your member website to track your drug payment stages and find ways to save on drug costs.
