Online Caregiving Resources

Caregiving the chronically ill, elderly, or disabled is challenging. The number of caregivers in the United States continues to rise. Many caregivers turn to electronic resources for assistance and support. Online, caregivers can access high-quality resources designed to address day-to-day, practical needs as well as help soothe the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual stress brought on by caregiving. Some sites address general caregiving audiences while others are designed for specific types of caregivers or patient populations. Several sites provide information on assistive technologies or offer video "how-to'' clips or documentaries featuring caregivers and their loved ones. If caregivers know where to look, information exists to meet every need.
