Other Resources for Caregivers
In addition to the specific resources you find on these pages, there are many other resources and organizations that address caregiving, and services and programs to help you manage the care of your family member. Your local library is a good place to begin the search. Many libraries offer disease-specific articles and publications, information about community resources, and increasingly offer patrons access to the Internet. Find out if your library offers caregiver education programs.
You can also find other resources in your community through your local United Way, hospital or cancer treatment center, or local social service organizations.
