The Caregiver's Handbook: Help for Unpaid Caregivers in Nova Scotia
Description:
Listening to the needs and concerns of unpaid caregivers is a fundamental part of all the work we do at Caregivers Nova Scotia. We hear how difficult it is to find programs, services, and information relevant to the issues caregivers face every day. They often tell us that they feel alone and are unsure where to turn.
This second edition of The Caregiver's Handbook was made possible by valuable feedback from our caregivers, our staff (who all have caregiving experience), our community partners, and by funding from the Department of Health and Wellness, Continuing Care Branch. It is filled with even more tools, tips, and resources intended to support you, the caregiver. We hope this resource will enhance the rewarding aspects of caregiving by helping you to manage some of its challenges and demands.
Production of this edition of The Caregiver’s Handbook has been made possible through funding from the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness, Continuing Care Branch.
