    Mother and daughter standing together

    Caregiving is the toughest job you'll ever love, but it can come with a lot of stress.

    And a lot of questions.

    Whether you are helping Mom with the shopping or making sure Dad is eating properly, you have become an informal caregiver.

    Click on the slide presentation below to learn more about informal caregivers.

    What may have started as an errand here and there may now be an all-consuming job.

    Sometimes, on top of the demands of employment and other family obligations.

    Mom had a stroke. Your neighbor fell and broke his hip. Your wife's memory issues are worsening.

    The people you care for have a wide variety of health concerns, and each person's situation is unique.

    Click on the slide presentation below to learn about care recipients.
