  • Testimonials

    “Thank you for the information package and application form for Network News. I look forward to receiving my first copy. In the booklets and brochures I have found so many valuable pieces of information. One of which, is the respect and acceptance for our Mom’s right to autonomy, for as long as she can manage and remain safe. A general statement, but as you know, one of the many overwhelming situations families face on a daily basis. We can now refocus our attentions with a better understanding of our Mom’s needs and the needs of the caregiver. Thank you again to the Family Caregivers’ Network, your support and access to information.”

    - C. L., family caregiver

 

Family caregivers are the invisible pillars of the healthcare system.
