As a service of the Area Agencies on Aging, this site provides education and resources for caregivers of older adults.
You are a caregiver if you are a relative or friend who helps someone age 60 and older with physical care, emotional support, daily activities, managing medications, doctor visits, shopping, legal issues or financial matters.
Like aspen trees, family caregivers, their aging family members, health and human service providers, and the community are all connected.
In reality, they are one organism sharing the same far-reaching root system. These interconnected roots give the aspen resilience, strength and beauty, often in harsh conditions at high elevations. In the same way, caregivers and older adults need support and connections within the family and their community.
