SUMMARY:National Family Caregivers Month
DESCRIPTION:The theme for National Family Caregivers Month is “Caregiving Around the Clock.” \nCaregiving can be a 24-hours a day/7-days a week job. Caring for a senior with Alzheimer’s or a child with special needs can be non-stop. Providing care around the clock can crowd out other important areas of life. And you never know when you will need to rush to the hospital or leave work at the drop of a hat. What challenges do family caregivers face\, and how do they manage them day and night? \nSponsored by the Caregiver Action Network \nContact: info@caregiveraction.org \n(202) 454-3970
