Are You a New Caregiver?

Recent statistics indicate almost one-quarter of American households provide care to relatives or friends age 50 or older.

If you're just starting out as a family caregiver, it's hard to know where to begin. Perhaps you've only recently realized that a loved one needs assistance, and is no longer as self-sufficient as he or she once was; or perhaps there has been a sudden change in a loved-one's health.

If so, it's time to consider and take certain action steps.


You might begin by taking stock of the people, services and information that will help you care for your loved one. The earlier you find support, the better.
 
We will share additional ideas for new caregivers over the next few posts.
