Are you a family caregiver living in Massachusetts? Your support and care may include managing medications, getting to a doctor’s appointment, helping with groceries, or organizing finances.
Caregiving is a journey. You may just be starting to create a care plan, or already providing full-time care. Either way, caregiving is an emotional and physical time commitment, and the Executive Office of Aging & Independence is here to be your partner in managing any emotional, physical, and/or financial stress that can come from caring for a loved one.
The Agency partners with the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative to bring you the Caring for the Caregiver webinar series.
