Caregiver Connections-Virtual Activity Buddies
Caregiver Connections was created in 2011 when a group of caregivers started Eagle Valley Senior Life to confront a local need for care and caregiver resources for older adults with moderate to severe limitations, primarily cognitive in nature. It is a great grassroots story and we aim to be the one-stop shop for any caregivers of older adults who need resources, support and direct assistance. How you help in these challenging times:
