What Support Is Available For Florida Family Caregivers? The financial decisions made at the state level have enormous consequences to the two million caregivers living in Florida. Join caregiving experts for the day to learn how these decisions will affect you and what support will be available as you care for your loved ones.
“The latest stops in Fort Lauderdale and Nashville were tremendous successes with hundreds of family and professional caregivers participating in full-day events where they received answers to their caregiving questions from physicians, spiritual leaders, and healthcare experts in topics such as Alzheimer’s, MS, cancer, autism, stoke, Social Security, Medicare, diabetes, incontinence and Parkinson’s throughout the day,” Barg said.
