Am I a Caregiver?
A caregiver is someone who’s providing unpaid care for a spouse, parent, grandparent, extended family member, neighbor, or friend. Do you help someone with:
- Rides to appointments?
- Buying, organizing, and taking medications?
- Grocery shopping and/or other errands?
- Getting dressed and/or bathed?
- Cooking and cleaning?
- Getting out of bed or moving around the house?
- Laundry or yard work?
- Paying bills?
If you’re helping someone with any of these, even just one every once in a while, you’re a caregiver and we are here to help.
What is the Caregiver Help Desk?
The Caregiver Help Desk offers FREE support to family caregivers, staffed by experts, who can help support you on your caregiving journey. Have convenient, confidential conversations with caregiving experts by phone, email or chat. Access experts Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM EST.
Since the launch of the Caregiver Help Desk, CAN has been able to help support thousands of family caregivers across the country. Here’s what we are hearing:
“I finally found someone who wanted to honestly assist me. Now I have some decisions to make, but I really appreciate the guidance and support.”
“It really helps when you’re talking with someone who understands what you’re going through. Such a sense of relief, thank you!”
