Caregivers know how challenging it is to take care of a loved one on a daily basis. So who takes care of the caregiver? This half-day conference will provide participants with advice for managing the stress and fears of caregiving. Visiting exhibitors will offer information and services relevant to the needs of both the caregiver and the individual being cared for.
