Wiregrass 211 - Connections

  Local Help for Family Caregivers in  The Wiregrass Area   You may not think of yourself as a family caregiver, but if you are helping someone with daily activities, like getting dressed, medication  management,  and transportation to and from appointments, then you  are  a family caregiver.  Today,  nearly  1  in  4  Americans are caring for a family member or close friend, and while it is one of the most important roles you may play, it is often stressful and overwhelming.    No matter where you are in your caregiving journey — starting to plan; taking care of a family member in your home, in a facility, or from a distance; or managing end-of-life caregiving responsibilities — having resources at your fingertips will make the process easier.  That’s  why AARP and  Wiregrass 211  have teamed up to offer tailored family caregiving support through your local 211 in the   Wiregrass.  ...
