Burnout is exhaustion tied specifically to your caregiving role, whereas clinical depression affects all aspects of your life with a persistent low mood and loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed.

This is a medical condition that requires a professional diagnosis and a specific treatment plan.

Medicare does not cover the long-term room and board costs of assisted living, which is considered non-medical custodial care. However, it may cover short-term skilled nursing or therapy services following a qualifying hospital stay. Texas families often use private funds, long-term care insurance, or programs like the STAR+PLUS Medicaid waiver to pay for care.
