Adult & Elder Caregiving

Caregivers for adults and elders often wear many hats and provide care that encompasses a broad range of responsibilities. The people we care for can be our parents, grandparents, sibling, adult children, or community members. Caregiving responsibilities could anything from social and emotional support to taking care of day-to-day responsibilities and medical care.
