Program Overview
Caregiving for Rural Families
Caregiving is a role that none of us can avoid. In the words of Rosalynn Carter, "I like to say that there are only four kinds of people in the world- those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers." People living in rural communities face unique challenges during their caregiving journey. For example, it may be difficult to hire professional caregivers.
