A caregiver is anyone who shares responsibility for another person’s health, well being and safety over time. 

Maybe you help out occasionally with small tasks, like the ones listed on the previous page. Or, you might be helping someone who needs around-the-clock care. The person who needs assistance may be as close as your living room, or as far away as a long distance phone call or email. 

Research indicates that when caregivers utilize community resources (employer-based programs, caregiver support programs, services for the dependent adult), the person needing care is able to live at home at least two years longer than caregivers who shoulder elder care duties on their own. 

Making use these resources enables everyone to create a better balance between personal, family, professional and educational responsibilities. Our elder care services can help you maintain that balance.
