Designed specifically for family caregivers, these recordings provide guidance and best practices for caregivers to ensure they and their care recipients are safely prepared should a disaster strike. Guidance includes tips for caregivers supporting individuals with limited mobility, cognitive impairment or power-dependent medical equipment and refrigerated medication. Sessions include a Q&A.

The latest installment in our Smart Caregiving Series addresses a caregiver question ahead of the holiday:

"Everyone in my family is expected to attend my sister’s holiday gathering—even our frail elderly parents. As their primary caregiver, I’m overwhelmed just thinking about going. What should I do?"

This practical resource provides guidance on navigating the stress and expectations of holiday gatherings. It offers compassionate strategies for setting boundaries, managing family dynamics, and finding moments of connection and self-care during the season.
