Caregiver Support
LIFE’s Caregiver Support
Caregiving can be rewarding, challenging, confusing and overwhelming all at the same time. Juggling work, family and personal needs with caregiving responsibilities is often difficult and emotionally draining. LIFE’s Caregiver Support Services offer the resources essential for reducing the exhaustion and stress associated with family caregiving. Personal consultation, information and resources, classes and support groups help make caregiving responsibilities much more manageable.
“I want to take care of my mom in the best way possible because she sacrificed everything for me growing up. She deserves it. LIFE Senior Services gives me caregiving tips and teaches me how to manage the emotional roller coaster that I’m on.”
