Caregiver Support
Provides support to caregivers for the emotional and physical demands of caring for a relative or friend. A caregiver is anyone who provides unpaid care and support to an adult friend or family member who has an ongoing illness or disability, is elderly, or is approaching the end of their life.
Support is available at home through Home and Community Care, outside of the home through short-term stays/respite, in a care facility, or a hospice.
