Caregiving Includes Caring for Me |
In 2015, 40 million caregivers in the United States provided unpaid care to older relatives and friends. It is anticipated that this number will continue to grow as the Baby Boomer generation ages and requires more care and assistance at home. Research indicates that more of us are joining the Sandwich Generation of caregivers—those caring for aging family members, their own children or grandchildren. There are a moderate number of physical and psychological issues associated with this care. This class will provide education on how to plan for family caregiving, including wellness strategies for the family caregiver and information on resources available to support you and your family.
