Caregiver Support
Are you a family caregiver?
Take this simple survey to answer that question...
Are you a spouse, adult child, other relative or friend who helps, cares for or is concerned about an older adult?
If you answered yes, then consider yourself a caregiver.
And because of family caregiving duties, you may be stressed out, feeling guilty or concerned about how you are going to handle future caregiving needs.
You are not alone and taking care of yourself is ultimately important so that you can continue to assist your relative or friend.
Information helps caregivers define their personal and older adult concerns. Informed caregivers can make better choices for themselves and older adults they care about.
