Family Caregivers
Welcome to Caregivers & Families!
If you're a caregiver -- a family member, friend, or neighbor who helps care for an elderly individual or person with a disability who lives at home - this site is for you. We can provide you with information and assistance about :
Finding supportive services in our community
Caregiving resources
Where to find help
Ways to take care of others and yourself
Joining a caregiver support group
Other useful resources and ideas
We can help you find a caregiver. Our list of caregivers includes persons who have passed a criminal background check and are approved to work for people who are clients of DAVS.
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.
