Caring for the Caregiver

Sometimes, finding help when you need it is one of the biggest challenges of caregiving. There are many resources that can provide you with additional information, assistance and services, both on our site and on other sites.

The Eldercare Locator
Helps families find service providers and formal caregivers where their loved one lives...even if they live some place else!

Through the Older Americans Act and state and local resources, a network of state and local agencies on aging are available to assist you in caring for your loved one, whether you live next door or in the next state. Look through this list and contact the agency closest to the person needing care.

• Check our Resources & Links tab for other written and video resources.

• You can also use our Site Index (located in the footer at the bottom of the page) to see what other information is on our site.

• Our topic pull-down menu provides shortcuts to other topics located on our site, and our Search feature (top of the page) allows you to look for something specific.
