Providing care for a family
member with a serious illness can be more than a full-time
job. It is stressful—so stressful that the person providing
the primary care for a loved one sometimes gets sick themselves.
Even though you may think you can “do it all” or
that your family member “only wants you” to do
the caregiving,asking for help can be the most important
thing you do for yourself and everyone involved.
For local help, advice, and information to make your caregiving
job easier and more rewarding for you and the person you’re
caring for, this website has educational articles on physical
care, on nutrition and
eating, on
managing pain,
and on the different types
of care that are available. Our Community
Programs section lists
services offered in Lane county.
