Long Distance Caregiving

Up until fairly recently, most families lived in the same community generation after generation. They could share the responsibilities that go along with caring for older family members. But today, we live in a much more mobile society. Families are often spread out from one end of the country to the other. So, when a parent or grandparent needs care and support, or when a care crisis occurs, you come face to face with the challenge of “long distance caregiving.” Read about these challenges and ways to meet them in Long-Distance Caregiving, in the July issue of our Hand-in-Hand eNewsletter.
