It is located at 5901 Olympic Blvd, Ste 300, Los Angeles, CA 90036. Phone is (323) 932-5414. You can check it out at http://www.leezasplace.org/.

It is a great place for you to receive caregiver support.

Self-Care for Caregivers

Caregivers Care

As a caregiver, your generally pulled in multiple directions at all times. You are the last person on your list. Then, you start feeling overwhelmed and possibly ill. Well, it doesn't have to be that way.

Make yourself the priority at all times. You will be glad you did. Yes, there is the feeling of guilt if you take time to take care of yourself. Well, the feeling will pass, trust me. Remember you must take care of yourself in order to properly care for your loved one. So, take a breather. Do, my favorite thing, get a massage. Even a 30 minutes foot massage will do you wonders.

Go ahead take of you!
