About Caregiving

Family Caregivers assist loved ones with physical or mental disabilities, chronic illnesses or other frailties by looking after their physical, mental, social and psychological needs.

Many people do not see themselves as family caregivers even though they are giving their time and energy to help the loved one manage their activities of daily living.

Family Caregivers are a diverse group including:

• Seniors
• Adult Children
• Parents
• Spouses
• Nieces and Nephews
• Relatives
• Friends
• Neighbours
• Holocaust Survivors
• New Immigrants

• Purchasing, supervising or administering medication

• Managing legal issues
• Overseeing medical appointments

If you assist a family member with any of the above tasks, we will support you. Visit our Services Information page to learn more.
