Do you care for a family member or friend at home?

Do you visit a friend or family member in a nursing home
regularly?

Are you the parent of a child with mental or physical challenges?

Do you phone a friend or family member regularly to check on them, make sure they take their meds or to see how they are each day?

If you answered YES to any of
these you are a Caregiver.
