Care situation

When you're burned out from caring for Mom

Caregiving can take over your life. Here's how to recognize burnout and where South Florida caregivers can get real help.

Written by the A Move for Mom editorial team · Last reviewed October 30, 2026 Expert reviewer: placeholder · Editorial standards

You're not alone

About 63 million Americans are family caregivers; nearly a quarter provide 40 or more hours of care a week, and one in five rate their own health as fair or poor [1].

Get help near Mom

Call the county aging helpline or the statewide Elder Helpline at 1-800-96-ELDER [2]. County numbers and more.

Take a break that's real

A respite stay or adult day program can give you time back. If caregiving is no longer sustainable, that's a reason to look at assisted living or memory care, not a failure.

Talk it through with a local advisor

One person who knows South Florida's communities, at no cost to your family.
