A family caregiver can be someone caring for a spouse or parent, an extended family member, or even a friend or neighbor. Do you provide someone help with:
• Transportation to medical appointments?
• Purchasing or organizing medications?
• Monitoring their medical condition?
• Communicating with health care professionals?
• Advocating on their behalf with providers or agencies?
• Getting in and out of beds or chairs?
• Getting dressed?
• Bathing or showering?
• Grocery or other shopping?
• Housework?
• Preparing meals?
• Managing finances?
If you answered “yes” to any of the examples listed above, you are a caregiver
Caregiving involves time, commitment and sacrifice. You are not alone and there are resources to help. Please feel free to take the Caregiver Assessment at – https://senecanationaoa.tailoredcare.com/
