Caregiver Support Tips: Empowering Caregivers

Welcome! We're proud to launch a new site where we share practical caregiving advice for people who act as caregivers for elderly friends and relatives. We know from first-hand experience how hard - and often rewarding - this work is.

For many of us, caregiving can feel overwhelming, especially since we aren't professional caregivers. That's why we aim to provide caregiver tips and support for elderly individuals and their families. Here's the first set of practical, been-there-done-that tips you'll find here:

Estate planning documents: a straightforward way to get documents created and notarized, which can help prevent credit theft.

Aging in place: some practical things you can do to help make the age-at-home experience a little safer for your loved ones.

Driving: some things you can do when the person you're caring for wants to drive (but shouldn't) to prevent elderly fraud.

Transportation: working with city and county programs to arrange transportation that suits the needs of the elderly.
