“As a child growing up, my mother – a health care professional – was the primary caregiver to both my grandmother who lived 240 miles away and my grandfather who at one point was recovering from an illness in a makeshift bedroom in our living room. Over time, I witnessed the full spectrum of caregiving challenges (physical, financial, logistical, legal and psychological) and the impact it had on my family members and friends. My greatest hope is that Caring Village will help others in the same situation as my mom by improving communication and coordination and sharing the burden of care.”
