Here are a number of online resources to: find practical tips for caring for a love one, and organize your friends, family members, church members, anyone who might be willing, to help you with meals, car rides, chores, etc.

These sites have features that allow you, as the main caregiver for someone, keep in touch electronically with others, provide ideas as to your needs, etc., and allow others to, in turn, keep in touch, and sign up to help you with your indicated needs.

Below is a link to the 2022 Duke Caregiver Community Event.

This is an excellent place to go to learn more about all aspects of caregiving. It is a virtual event so you can pick what you want to see. I have found it to be quite helpful.
