Caregiver resources
Caring for a family member or friend may feel overwhelming at times. With more information, you may feel more confident in knowing how to meet each day’s demands and needs.
What do we mean when we say caregivers?
Every care situation is different. Every caregiver is different too. You may be a caregiver for someone who is a close friend or family member, or it may be someone you feel responsible to help. Maybe caregiving is something you’ve known was coming for quite a while, or maybe it came as a surprise.
Caregiving is a wide-ranging spectrum that covers all kinds of care. We define a caregiver as a family member, friend or neighbor who provides unpaid assistance with activities of daily living and sometimes medical tasks too.
Whether you’re a new caregiver or have been caregiving for a while, there are many resources that can help you prepare for what’s to come.
