Caregiver Support

 

AAANM strives to support caregivers in the work they do. Caregivers are wives, husbands, children, neighbors, and friends.  Unpaid caregivers provide the majority of the long term care in our country.

 

Being a caregiver has its ups and downs.  It can be very rewarding and it can also take a heavy emotional, physical and financial toll.  Many caregivers are so busy…they forget to take care of themselves.

 

Tailored Caregiver Assessments (T-Care)

AAANM offers a caregiver assessment program called T-Care.  T-Care is a tailored assessment and referral program that focuses on the needs of you—the caregiver.

 

A T-Care assessment will help you

 

• Recognize signs of caregiver stress
• Understand the reasons for caregiver stress
• Identify sources of support
• Link you to community services
• Establish a good self-care program
