"There are four kinds of people in the world:
those who have been caregivers,
those who are caregivers,
those who will be caregivers,
and those who will need caregivers.”
– Rosalyn Carter (Helping Yourself Help Others)

Family caregiving is the act of assisting someone you care about. He  or she may be  chronically ill, disabled or  unable to care for him or herself.

Family members are the primary providers of long-term care.

Unfortunately there is nothing simple about family caregiving.  Each caregiver’s experience is unique but they share the same issues.

• Information about available services
• Assistance with accessing other supportive services
• Individual counseling, support groups, training to help with problem solving and decision making

• Supplemental services like home modifications, assistive technology items and emergency response systems
