Caregiver Resources

agingwell.news

I had no plans to be a caregiver and was unprepared when I took on the role. There is a wealth of available information; these resources were helpful.

WEBSITES

1.     The AgingCare website, https://www.agingcare.com/. This site connects families with in-home-care, assisted-living, and caregiving support.

2.     The Caregiver Forum, https://www.agingcare.com/caregiver-forum, is a place to ask questions and get valuable information.

3.     The Family Caregiver Alliance has a wealth of resources, https://www.caregiver.org/. It seeks to improve the quality of life for caregivers through education, services, research, and advocacy.

4.      AARP, https://www.aarp.org/caregiving/.

FACEBOOK GROUPS

If the person being cared for has dementia, I found these to be helpful support groups

  • Dementia Family Support

  • Dementia Caregiver’s Support Group

  • Alzheimer and Dementia Caregivers Support

  • Get in the Lifeboat – An Online Resource & Community for Dementia Caregivers

PERSONAL BLOGS

Oh, Hello Alzheimer’s – a woman’s journal - living with and taking care of her husband who had dementia.

Oma’s Applesauce - A man’s chronicle of taking care of his mother as she dealt with Alzheimer’s disease.
