Am I a  family caregiver ?

Ask yourself the following questions :
  • Do you run errands for a loved one?
  • Do you help the person  to  wash, shave or comb her hair? 
  • Do you do the laundry, the housekeeping?
  • Do you accompany the person to medical appointments?
  • Do you have to monitor the medications?
  • Do you assist the person with her banking?
  • Do you help the person to move around?
If you answered  "yes" to some of those questions, if you are doing it for free,  you are a family caregiver. We can help you!

A family caregiver is...


a person who takes time to care for a loved one with a permanent or temporary disability due to a handicap, an accident, an illness or a loss of autonomy due to advanced age.

Even if you take only a few hours in your week, and are doing it without retribution, you are considered a family caregiver even if the person does not live with you.
