Family Caregiving

imageMore than 22.4 million Americans provide unpaid help to older or ill persons in their community.  These people are known as caregivers and they include spouses, adult children, relatives, and even friends.  These caregivers need information about services available in their area.  They also need to know how to get access to these services.  In addition, they need training and support in order to provide the best care possible. Sometimes more than anything else, they just need someone to talk to, someone to help them relieve the stress of providing care.  To get answers to all your family caregiving questions, visit our list of Recommended Sites.

PhillyHealthInfo.org is here to help caregivers find support group and other services in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, or Philadelphia County. Our resource list in the blue box on the right side of the page is a good place to start.

For more information about taking care of elderly relatives, listen to the following clip from Dr. Brian McDonough.
