Caregivers play a vital role in helping seniors maintain their health and independence. Although caregiving is rewarding, it can have a negative impact on the health and well-being of the caregiver. Caregiving has its greatest impact on the emotional health of caregivers, particularly the caregivers of people with Alzheimer’s/Dementia and victims of strokes. Alabama CARES is a program designed to support family caregivers by providing training, assistance, and resources to help them take care of their loved ones while maintaining their own health.
