Full-time caregiving for a family member is a daunting task and can take an emotional and physical toll. If you are a family caregiver, there are resources available to help lessen the burden of caring for your loved one. The Alzheimer’s Association offers many online resources including message boards, a 24/7 Helpline, and support groups. They also offer classes to help caregivers feel more confident and competent in their caregiving skills. For a list of current classes visit their resource page.
