Family Caregiving

More than 44 million American Families are Caring for a Loved One at Home.

Caring for a parent, spouse or friend at home can be overwhelming. If you are like most caregivers you want to feel you are doing everything you can to provide the best care possible. Plus like many caregivers, you may have many other commitments including a job and additional family.

But you're not alone. The American Red Cross has a Family Caregiving Program and a Family Caregiving reference guide to assist caregivers. This exciting new program offers you a helping hand by providing a variety of information-packed sessions covering topics that can help you provide the care that your loved one may need, including subjects such as home safety, healthy eating, and bathing, as well as legal and financial issues. There's even a session that helps you take care of yourself.

This Family Caregiving Program has been designed to:

  • Teach skills for caring for the elderly, chronically ill and disabled at home;
  • Help organizations in the communities served by the American Red Cross provide services that benefit the growing senior population
  • Prepare families to take on the responsibility and challenges of caring for a loved one at home.

The program consists of nine individual topic-based modules for caregivers. Choose those modules that best fit your needs - they can be taken separately or in combination. Topics include:

    • Home Safety
    • General Caregiving Skills
