Caregiver Resources on the AoA Web
Site
"Caregiving may be one of the most important roles you
will undertake in your lifetime. Typically it is not an easy role, nor is
it one for which most of us are prepared. Like most people, you may have
questions about how to cope with your care receiver?s illnesses or
disability. If you have a job and are juggling several responsibilities or
if your family member or friend needs a lot of assistance, you may need
help with caregiving, too. Whether you are expecting to become a caregiver
or
have been thrust into the role overnight, it is useful to know where
you can get information and help. "
