November is National Family Caregivers Month! Is your loved one responding well to treatment? Is your loved one in the hospital and you’re unsure what happens next? Caregivers manage it all from doctors’ appointments to medications to emotional and physical support. Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Family caregiving can be stressful, but the more you know, the more confident and capable you will be when providing care.
