Thinking about caring for an older friend or relative aged 60 or older at home? Already providing care? You can begin by becoming well-prepared and well-informed.

If you live in Delaware and you care for someone aged 60 or over who lives in Delaware,  you can request a complimentary copy of the following resources for caregivers:

• The Comfort of Home. This book is a step-by-step, illustrated guide to home care which offers friendly advice and ideas to help with everyday activities associated with caregiving at home.
• The Family Caregiver Health Guide. This guide helps the caregiver keep track of health services and information for the older family member in their care, or it can be used to track their own health. It assists the caregiver in recording, locating, and organizing important information such as emergency contacts, medications, family history, medical visits, and physician's names.
• Give Care. Take Care. Are you struggling with the challenges of caring for a friend or relative, age 60 or older, in the home? Are you striving to offer the best possible care, but not sure where to turn for hands-on skills and resources? We can send you periodic announcements on our new caregiver skills training workshops, Give Care. Take Care. The Delaware Ecumenical Council on Children and Families, a faith-based health advocacy, education and services organization, is coordinating training sessions that can help you learn practical skills and handle the physical and emotional stress of caregiving.
