“There are only four kinds of people in the world – those who have been caregivers, those who currently are caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.”

    - Rosalynn Carter

If you are a family caregiver, you are not alone.  Nationwide, there are over 28 million unpaid family caregivers.   In Oregon alone, there are over 359,000.  Although each situation is unique, caregivers are faced with many of the same challenges and frustrations; joys and triumphs.

The following Caregiver Kits were designed to provide you with information and tools that you can use to help you thrive as a caregiver and to make the best decisions possible for both yourself and your loved one.  

As a caregiver, taking care of yourself is not a luxury.  It’s a necessity!
