You are a caregiver. You provide care for someone, whether that’s your aging parent or loved one with dementia; an elderly neighbor who can no longer live alone. It doesn’t matter what type of patient you take on as long there is need – whether short term (a few months) up until permanent disability sets into place where they will require around-the clock assistance from family members. Here are some resources to guide you on how to take care of your elderly.
