Caregiver Support
About this resource
Caregiver support is for people caring for family or friends, because we understand that care giving, even when given with love, can be stressful. This program gives caregivers support for the emotional and physical demands of caring for a relative or friend.
A caregiver is anyone who provides unpaid care and support to an adult friend or family member who:
Has an ongoing illness or disability
Is elderly
Is approaching the end of their life
Caregiver support services available:
Caregiver support is provided in various ways and is available through Home & Community Care services. It can be provided at home with home support or in the community through adult day services. Support is also available through short-term stays, called respite, in a care facility or hospice.
