Caregiver Resources

A caregiver can be a family member, friend, volunteer or paid professional.

A caregiver is anyone who gives assistance to another person so that person can maintain a more independent life.

For many caregivers, caregiving is not a job or an obligation, but rather what is right in helping a loved one. It is an unspoken promise to be there for our loved ones when they need us the most.
