From managing doctors’ appointments, medications, and health insurance issues to performing day-to-day care activities, the role of a caregiver can be daunting and overwhelming. As more and more people across the country are assuming the role of caregiver for a friend of loved one, the need for programs and resources to support these individuals is growing rapidly.
