Caregivers often neglacting their own health care needs in order to assist their family member, causing deterioration in the caregiver's health and well being.

Inadequate knowledge and skill, unprepared to provide care.

Undertraining

Caregiver burnout.

There is no excuse for abuse and neglect. If the pot is to hot get out of the fire. Caregiving takes a tremendous amount of love and patience
