Family & Friend Caregivers Information and Resource Handbook
Family Caregivers of British Columbia
You've come to the right place. Here are some suggestions for you, feel free to contact us for more. A family/friend caregiver may be anyone who provides unpaid care - they could be a family member, friend, neighbour, or volunteer. They could be living in the same home, same city, or even a different country. There are many ways to provide care and it doesn't have to be just one person to do it all. As the population ages, more caregiving is being provided by people who aren't healthcare professionals. However, family and friends who are actively caring for an older adult often don't self-identify as a "caregiver". Recognizing this role can help caregivers receive the support they need. There are no direct benefits or subsidies for caregivers at the moment, however, the following may help in some way. Caregiving can have many rewards. For most caregivers, being there when a loved one needs you is a core value and something you wish to provide. But you may be so focused on your loved one that you don't realize your own health and well-being are suffering. Watch for these signs of caregiver stress:Chronic stress can harm your health and may cause you to relinquish your caregiving duties sooner. It's not selfish to take care of yourself, it is wise.
Let us know how we can support you on your caregiving journey! Whether you have questions about our services, or are looking for a specific resource, we'd love to hear from you! Simply complete the contact form below, or call us at 604-279-7020.
