What is a family caregiver? Do you know one?

Many people think caregivers are the paid care providers from the government or private home care companies. But "family caregivers", friends and relatives of adults in need, are actually the backbone of our health care system. Much of the care of our seniors falls to spouses, friends and family members, but when people think it should, they often miss the support they can get for themselves. Support from non profit agencies like the Family Caregivers' Network in Victoria, BC, Canada. Find us on the web at familycaregiversnetwork.org.
