Caring for the Caregiver

Welcome!  This is a site for caregivers- those helping a loved one through illness and disability.  Being a caregiver is a difficult role, whether you are helping an aging parent, a spouse, a sibling, or a child with special needs.  Your time is spent caring for someone else, but there is often little to help prepare you for what to expect, both in caring for another person and in taking care of yourself as well.  This site’s goal is to help provide support for the caregiver- to help link caregivers with appropriate support groups, to help educate caregivers on disease processes and on how to care for oneself and deal with caregiver fatigue. Above all, this site’s aim is to show you that you are not alone.
