Begin with a shared understanding
Our developing caregiver pathway focuses on information, resource navigation and preparation for conversations with service providers. The older adult’s preferences and participation remain central.
Make the next conversation easier
List the tasks that need support, who currently helps, and where the gaps are. Topics may include transportation, appointments, meals, communication and time for the caregiver to rest. Bring questions about responsibilities and available local support.
Find support close to home
Local aging agencies and community organizations may offer caregiver education or other support. Availability varies. TCF is developing this initiative and does not currently promise in-home care, respite placements or case management through this website.
