family caregiving

The American Red Cross has a Family Caregiving Program and a Family Caregiving reference guide to assist caregivers. This exciting new program offers you a helping hand by providing a variety of information-packed sessions covering topics that can help you provide the care that your loved one may need, including subjects such as home safety, healthy eating, and bathing, as well as legal and financial issues. There's even a session that helps you take care of yourself.

This Family Caregiving Program has been designed to:

Teach skills for caring for the elderly, chronically ill and disabled at home;
Help organizations in the communities served by the American Red Cross provide services that benefit the growing senior population
Prepare families to take on the responsibility and challenges of caring for a loved one at home.
