I believe one of my most significant challenges as a caregiver was finding the time to identify the resources I needed each time something changed about our circumstances. Whether the change was a new treatment, an additional medical condition, the progression to a new medical device, or the need to look for a new specialist, I would spend hours searching the net for what I needed.  Hours I didn’t have. Therefore, as I developed my plan for this website, one of my goals was to collect as many resources as possible to provide caregivers with a place to start on their search and, hopefully, their last stop on their search.

 My other goal was to have as many free resources as possible because caregiving doesn’t pay, and healthcare is costly.  So, here’s what I have so far.

Government-related agencies –Local, state, and federal government-related agencies and organizations that aim to provide services or resources to the public for free or based on the ability to pay. Some exceptions may apply where programs are regulated by law or statute to require payment, but I prefer to list only those who charge nothing.

Community resources –  Organizations that provide services or support for free or at a minimal charge but do not make a profit by charging clients. It also does not include companies that post information as a draw to find clients to charge for services. Most organizations provide information, support, encouragement, and the latest research on conditions they sponsor.  They provide a wealth of information and are genuine experts to consult. You will learn a lot from them.

Podcasts, Courses, & More – Many caregivers don’t have time to sit down and read a book or even a news article, while others like to read journals to learn what they can about their conditions. Therefore, I’ve provided links to podcasts, courses that benefit caregivers, and some books I’ve found helpful, too.

I haven’t provided product information yet because it’s costly, but if any businesses want to advertise their products, advertising rates are available on my Contact page.
