Caregiver Support
Caregivers are adult family members, or other individuals, who are unpaid providers of in-home and community care to older adults. They help an older family member or friend with tasks they once handled for themselves such as meal preparation, bills, personal care, transportation or medication management. They often don’t see themselves as caregivers as they are simply doing what a family member or friend would do. Yet the services they provide are invaluable to the person they care for and to the community at large. There are many community supports to help caregivers provide care. There are also services focused on the needs of the caregiver.
