Caring For A Loved One? Find Support Here

Across Massachusetts, family caregivers are the unsung heroes helping older parents, spouses, siblings, grandparents, and others live independently in their homes, where they want to be. Whether it’s managing medications, preparing meals, assisting with bathing and dressing, handling finances, running errands, or providing transportation, caregivers are there through it all.

We understand that caregiving can be challenging and, at times, overwhelming. You’re not alone. In fact, there are 1.4 million family caregivers in Massachusetts providing 92 million hours of care each year. That's contribution valued at $22 billion in unpaid labor.

Family and friends are the backbones of America's care system, providing the bulk of care for older people in the U.S. as they strive to live independently. If you are not currently a family caregiver, at some point in your life you either will be a caregiver or need a caregiver.
