Who is a caregiver?
Family and friends may not view themselves as caregivers, especially if they have taken on the role as a loved one’s needs have slowly changed. But caregiving can include transportation, assisting with medical appointments, managing finances, taking care of household chores, and more.
"It's hard, but it's worth it."
We hear caregivers say this all the time. We know that while caring for your loved one is important, it also poses challenges. That’s why our team of caring Licensed Social Workers is here to provide the support you need.
