Caring for an aging relative can be rewarding, but it is not without challenges. The following resources provide assistance and support for you and the loved ones in your care.
Eldercare Discussion Group
UO employees providing care for elderly family members have formed a discussion group to offer one another support, share insights, and exhange information and resources with each other.
The group meets virtually each term for a check in call. There is also a Teams channel for added support and exchange of resources.
