Caring for the Caregivers

Georgia Public Broadcasting ran a story recently on caring for family caregivers.  Who Cares for Family Caregivers ran on May 23, 2016. The story explains an institute in Savannah, Ga. that is focused on helping the family caregivers, including training.  The story focuses on several family caregiver’s stories and notes that there is a bill pending “before the U.S. Senate would offer some help to caregivers. Under the measure they would qualify for up to $3,000 in tax credits.”  A video of the story is also available with the transcript.

The website for the institute featured in the story offers a caregiver stress level self-assessment quiz and a caregiver questionnaire for those looking for training as well as other caregiver resources.
