WHAT IS A CAREGIVER?
Anyone…a family member, a friend, a neighbor, who can be relied upon to provide unpaid help to a senior. If you are a grandparent or relative raising a child in your own home, we offer training, education, counseling, and support groups too. We can help all of you locate resources to make your job easier. YOU ARE NEVER ALONE.
