Family Caregivers

Pathways Greetings recognizes the demands of caregiving. We also recognize the importance of the loved one you care for and the realities that come with aging, chronic disease, and life’s transitions, such as moving to a long-term care community. Family caregivers are some of the most important people in the network of care for older adults.

Did You Know? The National Alliance for Caregiving provides support for family caregivers and the professionals who help them. And, among others, The Naitonal Family Caregiver Support Program provides many helpful fact sheets and resources for caregivers. It’s important to remember, “you’re not in the boat alone.” Asking for and accepting help is important to your wellbeing and that of your loved one.

The American Geriatrics Association Foundation for Health in Aging offers a helpful publication titled, Tips for Avoiding Caregiver Burnout.
