Vermont Family Caregivers Guide to Remote Support
“November is National Family Caregivers Month, an opportunity to honor family caregivers as the backbone of our home and community-based support system for Vermonters who are aging or living with a disability. According to the National Center on Caregiving, more than 40 million Americans, including 64,000 Vermonters, provide care for a loved one who has a disability, is chronically ill, or is aging, and spend an average of 20 hours per week providing care. DAIL has compiled this handout of some remote caregiver support options available in Vermont in order to help family caregivers access supports they may need during the COVID-19 crisis and beyond.”
