Care for Caregivers
If you are a caregiver, you may be eligible for support and services. This can include counseling, support groups, minor home modifications, and even a break to care for yourself. Call 1-800-994-9422 to get started. Caregiver support staff will connect you with the services appropriate to your situation.
Remember, to care for others long-term, we need to care for ourselves, too.
