Wisconsin's Family Caregiver Support Programs
Taking care of someone can be a joy, but it can be hard too — even when it's someone you love. Wisconsin’s Family Caregiver Support Programs — located in every county and tribe in Wisconsin — provide information, support, and resources to people who need help caring for a family member, friend, or neighbor.
Caring for an older person offers opportunities for learning and gratitude -- greater depths of joy, compassion and grief; exploration of a relationship unlike any other; and experiences that help one prioritize what is important and develop a broader vision of life. If you’re a family caregiver, focusing on the frustration, helplessness or anger that can also be part of caregiving can cause you to miss all of the opportunities of the situation.
